Program Description

Event Description

“Eyes in the front, the animal hunts; eyes on the side, the animal hides.” 

Skulls can tell us a lot, from what an animal eats to whether an animal is predator or prey. In this program students will learn how to read eye placement on a skull to identify predator and prey animals. They will also learn to read the teeth to identify skulls as carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.

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.
