Description
Ever wonder how snakes swallow their prey whole or how beavers cut down trees? In this instructor-led, dialogue based program, students observe taxidermy specimens, skulls, pelts and other natural items to uncover the ways in which animals are both physically and behaviorally adapted to survive, and thrive, in their habitats. Self-Guided Permanent Exhibit Halls are included with education program bookings. For a more detailed description of exhibit hallways please read “Exhibits Only” listing or check out our website http://www.perotmuseum.org/

  • Define adaptation.
