AUGUSTA, Ga. - Have you ever held a baby alligator? Touched a snakes scales or petted a possum before?

The Savannah River Ecology Labratory will give you a chance to do that and more this weekend when they host Touch An Animal Day.

Whit Gibbons of SREL talks about the event.

Directions to Conference Center: From Aiken, take Highway 19 south (Whiskey Road) to New Ellenton, SC. From the intersection of Hwy 19 and Hwy 278, turn left on 278. After 3.5 miles a gravel road will appear on the left, marked by a low wooden sign on the left and a green Department of Transportation sign on the right. Follow the gravel road until you reach the conference center. No SRS security badge is necessary on the conference center grounds.
