Skulls & Scat In-Person

What’s this animal skull I found in the woods?

We’ll look closely at the skulls and scat of Maine mammals to hypothesize what each animal can perceive, what it might eat, and whether it is predator or prey. Participants will have real, dried skulls and scat to examine and will learn how to interpret these animal signs in the wild.

Recommended for curious people aged 10 to 100.
