Ansonia Nature Center slates animal adaptations program

ANSONIA - Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center will present an Animal Adaptations program at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 22.

During this lesson, your children will learn what animals, as living organisms, do to survive through the cold and winter conditions. 

They will learn about how animals adapt to frigid temperatures and are able to conserve body heat. Different types of animals adjust in different ways, using their protective coverings, such as feathers, fur, and even layers of fat, which help insulate them against the cold environment. 

Join Ranger Dawn and do an experiment called “The Blubber Glove” and if weather permits we’ll take a hike too! Dress for the weather. Please register in advance at ansnaturectr@ansoniact.org

The Nature Center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
