MESKER PARK ZOO NEWS & STORIES
A blue duiker at #MeskerParkZoo. Blue duikers are the smallest duiker.
Watch the throat and you can see the animal swallow and regurgitate it’s food. The process of rechewing food to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called rumination.

The sun may be melting our icy temps but the mugs stay frosted all year long at Mason’s Root Beer. Located in Washington, IN, the next time you’re in town, stop by, park your car, and enjoy foot long coneys and homemade root beer!
