The Museum of Natural History is welcoming some of the world's most exotic animals. Until April 22, 2012, the museum is hosting the Life Under the Canopy - Animals of the Rainforest exhibit. 

Organized by Little Ray's Reptile Zoo in Ottawa, the exhibit will make its national touring debut in Halifax with 10 live animal habitats displaying a variety of animals that live in the rainforest including tarantulas, snakes, tortoises, amphibians and common marmoset monkeys, one of the world's smallest primates.

Little Ray's Reptile Zoo staff will lead educational programs and daily interactive sessions with the animals. The museum will also offer interpretive programs on weekdays and weekends.
