A young dormouse awakens from a deep sleep and utters a mysterious prophecy. In the centre of The Great Woods, an ancient tree receives some strange visitors. Rumours abound. Change is in the air. This is the age of... NOSTRADORMOUSE. An enchanting mythical journey for readers aged eight and upwards, Nostradormouse takes an anthropomorphic odyssey round two very different creation myths, one Celtic, one Nordic. Entwining the two is the origin of a mouse who eats the ninth nut of knowledge and becomes imbued with prophetic powers.
What Is Elephant Odyssey? Elephant Odyssey is the most ambitious exhibit project the San Diego Zoo has ever developed. This new area showcases animals in a truly unique setting. Guests have an opportunity to see elephants in an exhibit that features a state-of-the-art care center as well as mixed-species exhibits with some unusual animals. Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects can all be found in Elephant Odyssey. These seemingly unrelated animals from all over the world are, in fact, connected through their ancestral history in Southern California.
