Fuzzy, Furry, Slimy, Scaly

We will explore the group of animals called vertebrates, comparing the birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. Participants will learn about the categories of creatures using live animals and many hands-on examples. We will learn about what makes the groups the same and what makes them different. Join the fun in the pavilion near the duck pen. The Cedar Rapids Park and Recreation Department, Iowa DNR and Linn County Conservation cosponsor this annual educational program.
