...baby bear!"And oh, look, isn't that cute? The mother bear is watching us too."
That's exactly what happened on our second-grade field trip to a nearby National Park - La Parque Estanzuela. Led by our school's science teacher, we were supposed to observe butterflies. But then, this teacher calls us over to follow her to "see the bears." My thoughts? Okay, kids, let's go see the bears in a cage, or statues of bears, or whatever. Never once did it occur to me that they were bears in the wild.
It didn't seem to concern the science teacher that the kids started to pretend to climb the trees that the bears were in, nor did it bother her when I asked her where the mother bear was.
It could have been a terrible scene, but thankfully, we all came out of it unscathed.
The science teacher is still working at this school.
Some weird caterpillar (yes, that is the official scientific name).
More caterpillars.
These could be "Reynas" or they could be Monarchs...
unfortunately, I am still ignorant as to this.
