Animal Report

We all survived our interaction with the animals on "CBS 8 This Morning", courtesy of a visit from Peter Gros, host of Mutual of Omaha Animal Kingdom on Animal Planet TV. Kait was anxious to get wrapped up in the event, and did, with Peter and one of the handlers assistance of course. The Burmese Python is the kind I've blogged about, the ones that are taking over the everglades and heading north! There was a Lemur which looked cute and cuddly (though we were asked NOT to pet it) and a Joey---a baby Kangaroo---which a lot of folks held. Not pictured are the young alligator, or the beautiful owl, or the considerably smaller snake that Peter also had with him. After they left us the crew was headed to Wetumpka to show off their animal collection to schoolkids. The crew members who produce the program gathered for a shot with Peter...and thanks to Mark, kneeling, for taking most of the photos!
