Tonight, we bring you part two of our Belize Zoo Live feature stories. As we told you on Wednesday night, the zoo is taking their animals into the classrooms through live virtual sessions that are scheduled to start in the coming week. While there is interest from educational institutions, the Belize Zoo wants to make this experience available for local schools. To give you an idea of what the lessons may look like, in our story tonight, we learn more about the big colorful scarlet macaws. These birds are endangered and only a few hundred more are found in the wild in Belize, but they have some characteristics that they use to survive. Reporter Andrea Polanco takes us along for a lesson about macaws’ adaptation with Education Director Jamal Andrewin Bohn of the Belize Zoo.
