Get up close and personal with all kinds of weird and wonderful animals at Yebo Gogga Yebo amaBlomo 2016.
The theme for the 2016 exhibition is: Move.
Life and movement are deeply and complexly interlinked. At the astronomical scale the movements of the earth and moon result in seasons, day and night and tides. Weather and climate are a result of air and water movement which at their simplest help to balance temperatures.
All living things have a greater or lesser need for movement of some kind. Even plants, which are usually not associated with movement, are dependent on movement. Seeds need to reach spaces where they can grow and where water, nutrients and light are available. The transfer of pollen from one individual plant to another ensures genetic diversity and can lead to adaptation and resistance to disease. Shoots grow upwards and roots downwards essentially moving towards needs for life.
Animals move to hunt, to escape hunters, to find food and to socialise, and sometimes for the sheer joy of it. If it lives, chances are it will move or have moved at some stage in its life.
Join us for 5 days of fascinating displays and epert talks.
