Creatures of the night, called nocturnal animals, are fascinating! In this adventure, students will use their sensory awareness to explore the adaptations nocturnal animals use to live and thrive in darkness. We will see what bats, moths, owls and foxes do to see, hear, hunt and survive in the night. This session is supported by the Night Hike Activity Kit. Presented by Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Center.
