This exciting and interactive program introduces students to our native warm-blooded vertebrates: Maine mammals.

Participant examine mounted animal specimens and observe their characteristics, such as teeth, feet, and fur. We use these observations as clues to understanding each mammal’s adaptations, niche, and habitat.

A collection of skulls, study skins, and other specimens complements a discussion of adaptations and the role each animal plays in the food web.
