Creature Feature: Are you my cousin?

Creature Feature Workshop: Are You My Cousin?
Saturday, May 12th - 2:00 pm only*
Why do animals of the same type look so different? How do some rabbits get floppy ears and others have straight ones? Why are there so many species of frogs? We will take a look at genetics for this Creature Feature to see why we have so much variety in the world. Bring the whole family for fun hands-on exploration with our live animals!!
