MNRC resident Ruth Ehrisman pets a guinea pig named “Orville” as Moorer takes him around to the residents. Camp Courageous owns two guinea pigs, brothers named “Orville” and “Wilbur,” named after the famous Wright brothers.
Uriel Moorer, nature director at Camp Courageous of Iowa, introduced several different animals to the residents at Monticello Nursing and Rehabilitation Center last week on March 14. Here, he holds a long-tailed chinchilla named “Chi Chi.” Camp acquired the chinchilla last year. (Photos by Kim Brooks)
