What makes some animals better adapted to pond life when others can make the stream a perfect home? Trekking with a naturalist to the stream and pond to compare is one way to find out! From big bullfrogs to tiny insects, we will explore the specialized mouths, breathing methods, shapes, and colors that help them each survive in their preferred habitat.
Members $7; nonmembers $11 (includes daily admission).
