Prairies

Discover the short-grass prairie and its animals.  Students learn about how difference species survive in the prairies, and get to know the bison and prairie dog.

Touch pelts and skulls of many Colorado mammals.  Which ones are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores?  Who are the predators?  Students use their observations to identify mystery mammals.

Wetland Walk

Mallards, turtles, and frogs, oh my!  Walk to Oberon Lake to determine what defines a wetland, and explore wetland animal and plant adaptations.
