Scales and Tails at 1:00 pm in the Day Use Area. Presented by the Chewonki Foundation Traveling Natural History Program. Using live, non-releasable reptiles, this program will compare these species and discuss their adaptations. Many people conjure up images of slimy skin and bloodthirsty monsters when they hear the word reptile. This hands-on program works to dispel some of those fears by allowing students to examine snakeskins, turtle shells, skeletons, and other unique reptilian artifacts.
