Animal Adaptations

One of our most popular programs, Animal Adaptations uses natural props, animal mounts, and a couple of LIVE animals to illustrate the definitions of both a structural and behavioral adaptation, as well as how adaptations help animals survive in different environments. Participants will then be shown “mystery props” from local animals, for which they will propose how these body parts serve as adaptations for the animals.
