HERPETOLOGY
As you can tell from the popularity of the many shows on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, the study of reptiles and amphibians fascinates many people in the world. But how much do people know about the diverse species of reptiles and amphibians living in their own state or country? Missouri has 42 species of amphibians and 82 species of reptiles, all with their own unique habits and behaviors. Students will learn distinctive differences between reptiles and amphibians, gain in depth knowledge of many species that live in Missouri, and have hands-on time with our wonderful education animals. Limit of 20 children. Please call to register.
