Summary:On this day, 54 Park View fifth-graders toured the zoo as part of the Zoological Society's Animal Ambassador Program, which pairs corporate sponsors with 16 schools in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties and teaches low-income students about ecology and the care of zoo animals. If you haven't figured out the answer to what kind of fish eat fruit and whether penguins have hollow bones, the Park View students will tell you penguins don't have hollow bones, which is why they can't fly. The pacu fish from the Amazon River eats fruit. Under the program, students are treated to two trips to the zoo one that focuses on cold-blooded animals and another that deals with endangered species. Each class receives a disposable camera and film with the trips.
