Lunchtime! Today’s Wild Wednesday peeks in our beautiful Madagascar Hissing cockroaches! While some may be frightened of these little guys, there’s no need! Their mouths are made for munching fruits, veggies, plant matter, and fungi, not fingers! In fact, they could be called the vacuum cleaners of the forest! Come say hi to them on our Animal Adventure Tour 🪳
