 Butternut Stomps - LP Zoo

Butternut's a wood turtle who

Turtles about her habitat,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Slowly checking out this and that.

Wood turtles in the wild do stomp

The ground with their front feet to trick

Worms to the surface, there to chomp,

No falling rain the worms learn quick.

Of course Butternut is aware

The keepers serve the worms to her.

And knowing when meals should be there,

She sends out a signal for sure.

So Butternut does stomp the ground

When she sees keepers are around.
