Join us for some super Animal Fun!

Feathers, Fur, Scales, and Slime!
Did you hear something rustling in the leaves? Is
that a nest? I saw something swimming in that pond!
What’s in that tree?
Day and night we are surrounded by animals in
Michigan and we rarely get to see them up close. Join
us as we learn about and meet some of the animals
that can be found just beyond our back doors.
Live animals, taxidermy and artifacts will be used
during the presentation. Depending on the size of
the audience, animals may be shared during the
presentation or at its conclusion for an open format
exploration time.
