Snake Encounter
Dr. Charles (Chuck) Peterson will be on-hand to change our view of snakes with this afternoon snake encounter. Snakes are important for many reasons. They are important elements of biodiversity with over 4,000 species of snakes worldwide. They play key ecological roles as both predators and prey. Snakes benefit humans because they help control rodent populations thus preventing the loss of crops and the spread of some diseases. They also provide important model systems for biological research and are symbolically important in many cultures throughout the world.
After interacting with a Great Basin Rattlesnake, made secure by Dr. Peterson, join us for making "snake skins" crafts and other related snake activities.
