Tails and Tales - Part 3 - Exotic and Interesting Animals

This episode is the 3rd and final part of our series on animals. The Summer Library Program theme this year is “Tails and Tales”, so we asked some of the employees here at MLC to talk about their favorite animals or pets and maybe share their favorite book which features an animal. While we might not have a Joe here, we are going to talk about some exotic (and interesting) animals! Have you ever wondered if a rabbits’ ears are only for listening? Do you know what's the only animal that can't jump? Or why is a hedgehog called a hedgehog? Tune in to find out these answers and more in this episode of Stacks and Stories.
