Welcome to the amazing world of animals who love “digging” into nature! Alligator snapping turtles\, leopard tortoises\, Colorado River toads\, African bullfrogs\, three-banded armadillos and even spectacled owls are some of the earth’s greatest diggers. Some dig to lay their eggs\, find or hide food\, escape the extremes of heat and cold\, or to build permanent underground homes. Their efforts also have huge benefits to their habitats by creating shelter for other creatures\, tilling the soil\, and even planting seeds of important plants and trees. Guests will get a special meet and greet with a variety of animals like a young African sulcata tortoise\, an Indian sand boa\, a soft-shelled turtle\, a ferret and more as we explore the subterranean realm and the animals who call it home!

SUMMARY:Charlotte's Web
DESCRIPTION:FREE Sanctuary Movie Series\nCharlotte’s Web\nSunday\, August 25 – 3:30pm\nRated G – recommended for ages 5+ (movie length 1 hours & 38 minutes) \nLocation: Edmond Town Hall Theater\, Newtown \nOne of Catherine’s favorite books\, Charlotte’s Web has captured the hearts of millions of children over the years. In keeping with the sanctuary’s mission of compassion and honoring the human-animal bond\, we’re thrilled to bring Charlotte’s Web to the big screen in Newtown at no charge. \nMovie Review from Common Sense Media (link to: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/charlottes-web-2006) \nParents need to know Charlotte’s Web is unusually respectful of its much-loved source (E.B. White’s classic novel) and its young audience. While the movie does refer to the farmer’s plan to kill Wilbur for Christmas dinner\, the pivotal (and most potentially upsetting) moment is the death of a central character\, which is followed by appropriate mourning and recovery by her barnyard friends. Some of the animal characters are initially unfriendly to a new arrival\, and Templeton the rat scavenges objects and talks about being selfish and sneaky. Crows attack him\, with their point-of-view shots suggesting the danger he’s in. There’s also some name-calling. Loyalty\, acceptance\, and faith in your friends are important themes of this emotionally powerful movie. \nWatch Trailer (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSC7NrzDt24)

In his 45-minute presentation\, he’ll cover all CT native snakes\, identification\, habitat\, which are venomous\, and how to co-exist with these amazing reptiles.

By the end of the evening\, you will have seen over 30 insect species and thousands of individual insects! \n
