Episode 11
Theresa spends time with Julianne, Jake, and their five kids at Butterfly Pavilion. It's a bug adventure!
Why the Joy of Tarantulas?
Rosie the tarantula is a beloved animal ambassador in Denver. Comfortable around people, ambassador animals play a key role in connecting individuals with nature and the issues affecting the species and their native habitats. For both young children and adults, the thrill of being close to a wild animal can ignite a lifelong interest in learning more about a species or ecosystem and, importantly, in environmental conservation. So, we thought naming the episode "The Joy of Tarantulas" seemed like a great way to sum up a day of learning at Butterfly Pavilion!
About Butterfly Pavilion
Butterfly Pavilion works to transform the way people think about invertebrates. These small but mighty animals that surround us are so much more than people think. They are everywhere, because everything depends on them. They are the hidden heroes of the animal kingdom, and we--you and us--stand on the backs of these tiny giants.
