It's that time of year... so here's your annual reminder that loud fireworks can seriously harm wildlife, pets, and even people. Some alternatives to fireworks while you are gathered with friends and family celebrating Independence Day are...
🫧 Blowing bubbles
🔦 Indoor laser lights
🪅 Red, white, and blue piñatas
🐘 Elephant toothpaste (https://tinyurl.com/ElephantFoam)
🧶 Silly string
🔫 Water fight
And if you still NEED your firework fix, please choose quiet fireworks like sparklers, snakes, and fountains or go to your city's fireworks display instead of shooting off your own to minimize the noise and the number of locations disturbed. 🇺🇸

Did you know?
Spur-thighed tortoises like Harry will cover their shells in mud during hot weather, just like elephants and rhinos!

The mud helps keep the sun off of their shells, and wallowing in shallow water is a perfect way to cool off in the summer!
