Episode 41: Gus' 99th Birthday
•
Tara Thorne
Tara and Palmer take a field trip to the Museum of Natural History to visit with Halifax's unofficial mascot, Gus the Gopher Tortoise, who turns 99 this weekend. We chat with the Museum team that cares for him, join him for his daily walk, and discuss how a random $5 purchase in the 1940s has become a venerable and beloved symbol of the museum.
