Czar the Elephant


On Wednesday, May 13th the North Carolina Zoo visited the Hospital School and students being served in the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic.  There was a life size puzzle of Czar put together on the floor for students and staff to see how big elephants really are.  During eye surgery for cataracts Czar was measured and a life size cut out puzzle was made. Students and staff were able to lay down and compare their size to Czar.  Students also got to compare the size if their hands to Gorilla and Polar Bear hands and paws.  Even the biggest students felt small in comparison to these animals.
