Animals can be dangerous, no doubt. But does the rattlesnake have a bad attitude
or just a bad agent? Are Gila monsters really scary, and if they are what does that actually mean? Ranger Shaun's here to talk about it! Click program title for more details.
Rattlesnakes. Gila Monster. Scorpions. Our desert is full of iconic critters with bad reputations all out to get us…or are they? Ranger Shaun is here to help answer that question, challenge some misconceptions and set the record straight. While these animals may not be safe to approach, few wild animals are! But they are no more trying to kill you than are elephants, zebra, deer, or coyote.
MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center
No registration required. Just show up between 10:00am-12:00pm!
