10:00 - 11:30 AM
All animals need the same basic things for survival - food, water, and shelter - but there is immense diversity in the ways that different animals meet these needs. Examine and touch real animal specimens that illustrate a wide variety of strategies animals use to survive in many different kinds of environments. Observe even more animal adaptations and do a scavenger hunt while exploring the Wagner Institute's collection of preserved animals.
This program is FREE but reservations are required.
Call 215-763-6529 x17 or Email for reservations.
Museum admission and programs are FREE, but donations are appreciated. A donation of $8 per adult and $5 per child is suggested, but any contribution will make a difference.
