Utica Zoo Adds Summer Dates for Red Panda & Sea Lion Encounters
The only thing harder than getting an appointment for a Coronavirus vaccination is finding an open time slot to experience the animal encounters at the Utica Zoo. Act fast, the Zoo just announced new dates for the summer of 2021.
The uncertainty surrounding the pandemic had Zoo officials slowly announcing new dates. But now with the outlook becoming clearer new dates for both in person and virtual animal encounters are being announced. Here are the options available.
Call With the Wild is a virtual encounter with two animals of your choosing. The encounter can be done as a group of family and friends or as part of a work conference call. The experience usually lasts about ten to fifteen minutes with a staff member introducing the animals and encouraging them to move around using treats.
Just recently, the Government of Akwa Ibom State through the Ministry of Agriculture, in its bid to promote food sufficiency, distributed over 2,000 Goats to livestock farmers in the State. According to the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Glory Edet, the distribution was in fulfilment of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s avowed promise to ensure the sufficiency of food and consumables cultivated and reared in the State.
“Our Governor’s passion for agriculture stems from his consciousness that it is only through agriculture that poverty and unemployment can be reduced”, she said. African Dwarf Goats specie were presented to the farmers which she said are the best in terms of taste and quality, but lamented that they were almost going into extinction at the local goods markets.
