Topics:
MARCH 12 (10 a.m.): "Who Am I?" - Some of Virginia's coolest mammals are rarely seen by humans. Still, each of these animals leave behind clues that tell us where they've been and what they've been doing. We'll examine things (like tracks and skulls) left behind by these curious creatures.
MARCH 12 (11 a.m.): "You Were Mis-Snaken" - Practice your detective skills by uncovering snakes hidden in images of their habitat, and discover how best to avoid those with venom.
