With its anteater’s tongue, piggish snout, and bear-like claws, the aardvark draws many easy comparisons. Its name means “earth pig” in the Afrikaans language, and it has also been called the “ant bear.” However, the aardvark is neither anteater, nor pig, nor bear. It is the only species within its order, Tubulidentata. Meet more animals >> | The Wildlife Theater Players perform a variety of shows including The Adventures of Captain Cocoa, The Great Migration Adventure, and Barnyard Babble at the Children's Zoo on Tuesdays and Friday–Sunday at Wild Asia Plaza. Skits combine conservation and nature lessons with talking puppets and catchy tunes that are fun for all ages. More activities >> |
