Yebo Gogga 2012

Yebo Gogga Yebo amaBlomo is an annual exhibition where the public and school learners can see and learn about fascinating bugs, plants and animals. Every year the theme of the exhibition changes to reveal interesting information about the amazing creatures that inhabit this planet, especially those in South Africa. School groups can use the tailor-made workbooks to explore the wide variety of displays and learn more about the unique and exciting things on show.

Yebo 2012 is titled Jus' Chilling. Ever tried to cross a tarred road or a beach bare foot on a hot day and had instant relief when stepping onto grass. There are many situations where conditions should be too hot for life, yet plants and animals survive and thrive. Avoidance, cooling, adaptive behaviour are some strategies that ensure that life exists tolerates a temperature range far greater than would be possible if living things did not know how to chill.
