OUTDOOR ADVENTURES: Nature's Architects

Friday, January 31, 6 - 6:45 pm (ages 3 - 6), 7 - 8 pm (ages 6 & older)

Join Animal
Embassy to discover the talents of a diverse group of creatures that build
complicated structures enabling them to survive in their habitats. Explore the
architectural feat of nest-building and how some winged creatures labor at
making their own, while opportunistic others take advantage of the structures
around them. We will discuss burrow-making and the reasons animals create
underground environments. Investigate the miraculous formation of webs and the
many ways spiders use them to survive. See some amazing artifacts, including
nests, and meet Animal Ambassadors such as a young Sulcata tortoise, an
Eclectus parrot, a Chilean Rose-haired tarantula, an African hedgehog and more!
