Two hundred twenty-four people gathered in the Nebraska City Middle School commons on Thursday, June 26, to learn more about six different animals during the annual Wildlife Encounters presentation hosted by the Morton-James Public Library. Wildlife Educator Jillian Lenz introduced the audience to a blue-and-gold macaw, a champagne ball python, an American alligator, a kinkajou, a fennec fox, and a red kangaroo during her 45-minute program that gave audience members the chance to see the animals up close.
