Beth Wood of Indiana Wild walks around with Valentina, a Patagonian mara, an herbivorous mammal found in Argentina, so children can get a small pet. Valentina was also joined by Prairie Farms, the milk snake; Spalding, a three-banded armadillo; Echo, a green-cheeked conure; Jimmy Dean, a blue-tongued skink; and Mo, an African sulcata tortoise for the “Animals” offering of the Delphos Public Library’s Summer Reading Program on Tuesday afternoon.
