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.
