Itโ€™s not every board meeting that you get to meet a tamandua! ๐Ÿ˜

This curious critter made an appearance at the RWPC Board Meeting this morning at the @rwpzoo Education Center. Huge thank you to Amy Roberts, Andrea Stein, Anthony Polite, and Kim Warren from the Zoo team for letting us meet Oblio and sharing so many interesting facts about the tamandua (a type of anteater!). Oblio brought many professional insights to the meeting, too ๐Ÿœ

Visit the Zoo to learn more about tamanduas and other amazing animals!
