Predator Impact

Although they live by the death of other animals, predators play an important role in the ecosystem. In this class, we will look at unique hunting adaptations these predators use, as well as discover the value of predators. We will also tour selected areas of the Zoo to see some of these meat-eaters and learn how we care for them.

Limited to 18 students per session.
