Photos: Australian animals visiting campus draw crowds

Can a cane toad swallow its eyes? Rick Schwartz, ambassador of the San Diego Zoo, fielded fun questions from kids during his presentation Wednesday, May 15, at Loma Linda University Health featuring a koala, red kangaroo, blue-tongued skinks, and other animals of the Australian Outback.

Mr. Schwartz and his colleagues brought the animals to campus as part of a tour promoting the zoo’s forthcoming new exhibit, the Conrad Prebys Australian Outback. It opens May 24. Other stops on the tour include Salt Lake City, Tucson, and San Jose.

Want to visit the new exhibit when it opens? The office of student affairs sells tickets to the San Diego Zoo at a discounted rate for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. More information is available at <http://www.llu.edu/students/student-affairs>.
