Aruba Island Rattlesnake - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

Aruba Island Rattlesnake - Lincoln Park Zoo



A handsome reptile I do be,
Aruba Island rattlesnake.
At the Lincoln Park Zoo find me,
The Reptile House where home I make.
Home for us in Aruba is
Causing us to be just a few,
Cuz of the human tourist biz.
We're getting scaled down bad - so true!
Just a few hundred rattle round
A getting smaller habitat.
So many humans be beach bound,
We're getting bulldozed over flat.

I be in the Zoo to remind
We need your help to save my kind.
