Program Description

Event Description

Locomotion and Skeletal Adaptations familiarize students with a key feature to animal survival, locomotion. Much can be learned from observing the bones associated with motion: diet, predator-prey relationships, etc. Participants will observe skeletal features that define a particular type of movement and then name that movement.

Discover the fascinating world of bones at Nature’s Open Book: a special exhibit from SKELETONS: Museum of Osteology! Visit the Downtown Library in April and May to explore a selection of incredible skeletal and taxidermy specimens, with additional displays at 11 library branches.
