Skulls, and Bones, and Ears! Oh My!



The NC Zoo visited with us this week and brought skulls for a few different animals, bones, fur, paw prints, and a giant elephant ear (not real, of course). The kids learned what to look for in a skull to try and determine what kind of animal it was. They learned about polar bears and their fantastic sense of smell.  Did you know that a polar bear can smell a seal under the ice up to 20 miles away? AMAZING!
