Huge thanks to Ben, from Spirit of the Wild, who brought his fantastic zoo to meet the Cubs tonight.

We met owls, a kestrel, a parrot, a scary spider, a giant snake, lizards, a cute meerkat, a skunk, and Ice the husky!

Well done to all the brave Cubs, some of who faced their fears.

Owls…

Kestrel and parrot…

Scary spiders and slithering snakes…

Not everyone loved the spiders..

Skunk…

..and finally, Ice the husky…
