The islands of Zanzibar, and nearby Pemba, are located just off the coast of the Tanzania mainland. While this area is steeped in history, nature abounds. One can see large animals like enormous Aldabra tortoises, and primates like red colobus and blue monkeys. Bird life varies widely from the tiny endemic Pemba Island sunbird to various kingfishers and even larger hornbills. Along the coast one might see shorebirds and land crabs, while under the sparkling waters is another world. From tiny, colorful fish to huge titan triggerfish and moray eels, the underwater world is equally amazing. Come explore the beauty and natural wonders of these exotic islands. Welcome back to Thayer Memorial Library Joy Mazoff of The Joys Of Nature, with the support of the Rosemary Davis Memorial Grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. Recommended for ages 12 and up. https://thayermemoriallibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/exploring-zanzibar-above-and-below/
