Talk to Animals

Ever spoken with a snake, swapped tales of life in the slow lane with a turtle or beefed with a frog about the lack of variety in a fly-heavy diet? You haven’t? Well, now is the time to start.

Starting this Thursday at 10 a.m., and continuing on successive Thursdays throughout the summer, Gus Ben David conducts his animal interviews at the The World of Reptiles and Birds Park off Vineyard Haven-Edgartown Road. No, the animals aren’t applying for a job. They already have one entertaining visitors and showing off their true colors. Mostly, Gus does the talking, which is as it should be, seeing as he knows more about our scaled, furry and winged creatures than almost anyone else on the planet. But you can be sure some of his creatures will add their own two cents.

The cost is $8 for all ages. Rain dates are Fridays at 10 a.m.
