Tuesdays in the Field – Bizarre Adaptations

Jan 10

Amazing Animal Adjustments

Did you know that each animal has a unique characteristic that helps it to survive? These are called adaptations! Adaptations are why frogs can be poisonous, fish can spit water, sharks can sense their prey and why octopuses can camouflage. Want to learn more about how these animals can thrive in a wide variety of ecosystems? Join us for the most bizarre Tuesdays in the Field yet!
