The Star Eco Station tour was fun and educational. This organization is an animal rescue/sanctuary for animals that are recovered in and around the L.A. area, whether they be abandoned pets or illegally smuggled animals. They have everything from birds, to fish, to reptiles, to some small mammals. The day started out with a fun presentation where the learners got to see animals up close, pet them, and learn lots of fun facts about a variety of animals. Did you know that chinchillas cannot get wet or they get moldy? Did you know the sure-fire way to tell an alligator from a crocodile? Alligators have a U-shaped snout, while crocodiles have a V- shaped snout. We learned these facts and many more. Then we toured the facility and got to see and learn about all of the animals that live at Star Eco Station. It was a great day and this is a great organization!
