First, the rats at the FCMOD:
Kids love watching the Rat Ball!
The FCMOD has these plastic exercise balls where a good sized rat can be encapsulated for a moderate amount of time. I have never released the rats out of their cage before today, but I now find that the rats love to get into these balls and roll around the museum floor. According to the Rat Forum, rat balls are not much fun for the rat, but how do they know that?
Dancers at the Zoo
In December the Denver Zoo puts on the “Zoo Lights” with more than 150 brightly animated light sculptures decorating the zoo’s trees, lawns and bushes. The cultural entertainment included the above costumed dancers; They didn’t introduce themselves but the costumes resemble Mayan culture, possibly a ‘deer dance’.
Also, Mrs Indonesia was there
… and a gamelan played to a group of Asian dancers; I will return to this place next week to check out the lights!
