Jack Hanna

On Saturday we went to Cedarville University to see Go Wild with Jack Hanna. I've always really liked Jack and all his animal shows so this was probably more fun for me than Claire! Claire still really enjoyed seeing all the animals!!
Claire waiting patiently before the show began!


Claire made some friends with the little girls sitting near us. They had beach balls floating around the crowd and the girls snagged one of the balls to play with!


Looking cute!


Claire started clapping with the audience when Jack Hanna was introduced!


A VERY rare Clouded Leopard. She was beautiful and there are only a couple hundred left in the world. Soooo sad...


A cute little armadillo. He was so fast and he kept trying to get off the stage! Claire thought this was funny!


A small alligator. Reptiles are not my favorite!


This little guy WAS a favorite! The penguin was adorable as he waddled across the stage. When Claire saw him come out she said, "Ahhhhh". My thought exactly!


This was a humongous albino python! Albino snakes and animals are rarely seen in the wild for obvious reasons! We actually have an albino squirrel that lives in one of our trees. He's so cute!! Much cuter than this albino guy!


A beautiful blue macaw! These birds are worth up to $40,000. Because of the high value, the macaw (and other exotic birds) is a popular underground and illegal export, only behind the illegal sale of drugs.


The extremely slow moving sloth. They don't have the ability to stand or walk. They have to hang upside down. Interesting! We learned so much!


This flamingo was a trip. He ran back & forth across the stage flapping his wings. Claire said, "That bird is silly, Mommy!". She was right!

It looks like such a fun time! So glad you enjoyed it. I wish we could have gone with you guys, but timing-wise, it's best we didn't.

How old is that man? He must be ancient. He looks exactly the same as he did when he was on Johnny Carson.

I don't think Jack Hanna ever made an appearance on Johnny Carson. You're probably thinking of “Wild Kingdom” host Marlin Perkins. Jack is 61 years old!!!

Wasn't it cool that Jack was right here in The Ville????????
