Stayin' Alive
Take an up close look and discover how mammal's physical structures and behaviors help improve an animal's chance for survival in the wild. Through the study of skulls, students will learn how to identify if the animal is a herbivore, omnivore, or a carnivore. They will also learn about habitats, predator/prey relationships and basic animal ecology. Observe living examples of selected animals during the presentation.
