Animal Magic Visits Angell

On April 30, 2025, students at Angell Elementary School enjoyed a special visit from Animal Magic, a nonprofit organization focused on exotic wildlife conservation and life science education.

Presenter Mark Rosenthal introduced students to a variety of animals while sharing educational facts about their behaviors and habitats. Students learned about how nocturnal animals function, the relationship between predators and prey, and common myths about different types of animals.

During the presentation, students had the opportunity to observe a tarantula, a snake and an armadillo. The visit concluded with Nico the crying parrot. Nico has been featured in viral videos, magazines and talk shows for the ability to talk, laugh and cry, much like a baby.
