Today, I spent a lot of time looking at the animals and ecosystems in North Carolina. I always knew that NC had a lot of diversity in terms of wildlife and plants, but this trip really made me realize the extent of the diversity, which is much more than I imagined. Apparently NC has a savanna in its southern area near the coast, which I was completely unaware of. I loved seeing all the model animals (I think some of them were taxidermy animals) in the different habitats, especially seeing the live fish and turtles. At one point, I saw a dinosaur-looking thing that reminded me of Mitch McConnell.
