Animal Awareness Week @ Parkmall

CEBU, Philippines - Curious kids and kids at heart filled Parkmall’s Atrium West during the Animal Awareness Week last July 12 to 17. Everyone enjoyed watching the different animals put out on exhibit. They all had a chance to see animals that are not normally seen every day. Thanks to the help of those who participated like the Crocolandia Foundation, Inc., the Cebu Arachnida Society, the Cebu Gecko Society, the Asian Beta Alliance, the Cebu Pitbull Club, and Parkmall’s premier pet shop, the Marine Aquatics.

Through the help of friends who lent their resources, Parkmall was able to exhibit animals like the huge albino Burmese python, that easily became a favorite because everyone could just touch and take photos of themselves with it, then there was the small crocodile that challenged the kids’ bravery and encouraged them to be bold enough to touch it, then there were the huge pit bulls and German shepherds that were very friendly around kids and the camera. There were the cute geckos, the very colorful love birds, the fighting fish and other different species of fish exhibited by Marine Aquatics. The tarantulas and the scorpions caught most attention from the mall goers and the children since they are not normally seen as pets.

Everyone present during the Animal Awareness Week indeed got a dose of information and interesting trivia about the different animals displayed. Those who were not able to witness the event shouldn’t feel sorry though. There will be more of these to come. Only at Parkmall, where excitement never ends.. (FREEMAN)
