THE Exmoor Zoo’s school visiting staff member brought along some animals for the pupils at Bridgerule C of E Primary School on Thursday, October 5.

Stephen brought along animals, which were mainly indigenous to the African continent, for the children to see and learn more about.

Among the animals was ‘Simples’ (pictured below with Stephen) the meerkat and Mrs Joyce Pankhurst, Class 1 teacher, was lucky enough to handle ‘Ebenezer’ the squeezer, an African royal python.

The pupils were also introduced to a Tenrec, which is similar to a hedgehog and two giant African land snails.
