LEGO Zoo #0020: Tarantula Presentation

For the concluding mini-set of National Zookeeper Week, let's look at one of the most important functions that zookeepers do in addition to all of their other duties:  educating the public about the animals in their care.

Educating the public about animals is one of the most important roles of the modern zoo, and zookeepers play an integral role in that process through daily keepers chats and presentations.  Here, Marie is telling visitors about the important role that spiders play in controlling populations of pesky insects.  With any luck, her listeners may overcome some of their fears about spiders and think about letting spiders they find in the wild go about their business, instead of killing them.
