We will compare the anatomy of different animals, perform a squid dissection to understand the variation in body systems, observe a penguin health examination, learn how we give our animals medicine, discuss different methods of feeding different animals, and create a toy for one of our animals to play with. By the end, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of animal care.
Ages 8-12 years old.
