Morton and Perry brought a variety of reptiles to the school for an advanced session of show and tell." They demonstrated a python," a boa constrictor and several types of lizards, including a legless lizard species. The girls taught the VMS students such things as die taxonomy of the animals, hat they eat, their area of origin, how and where they fit into the food web and their defense mechanisms. It wasn't exactly a hands on experience for the VMS students since, for the safety of the reptiles, they were not allowed to touch the animals. However, they did get to watch as Morton and Perry held the snakes in their hands and they saw the difference between bow a snake moves and bow a legless lizard moves. They also learned that a lizard, with or without kgs, has external ears and snakes do not. Morton and Peny- - are both students in Tom Oden Advanced Biology class at Uintah High School. !
