We will take a look at the many ways animals adapt to survive here in fb88.

Beavers are one of few animals that can create their own habitat, or place to live. There are many in fb88, and they have an interesting life cycle. Using natural artifacts, skins, skulls and beaver ‘chew’, we will explore the world of the beaver, and identify its many physical adaptations. We may even get to see a live beaver.
Carnivores of fb88
Lynx, mink, bobcat, loons, eagles, and more are all at the top of their food chains and integral parts of the ecology. What key roles do these top predators play in a food chain.

Many of fb88’s mammals are small and have different ways of living. Some live in trees like squirrels, and others around water like otters, muskrats, and mink.

Birds can live in many different habitats and climates, and eat a wide variety of food depending on their style of beak. Using mounted specimens of different bird species, we’ll look at the many different adaptations birds exhibit to survive in their particular habitats. We will look at color, beak shape, feet, feathers, and diet. We will also learn what characteristics define birds and what feature is unique to birds that no other living creature has. We may even get a chance to see a live bird.
