You don’t have to look far to find amazing wildlife. Right in our own backyard, there is a complex ecosystem to explore. Through the Zoo’s One Cubic Foot initiative, Zoo staff will take your class on a journey through the Genesee Watershed to explore some of this area’s diverse wildlife. Watersheds, riparian habitats, lakes, and food webs will be discussed.

In this program, we will investigate the life cycles of several different types of animals.

Discover what different animals need for survival in their habits.

Big or small, predator or prey, all animals have special adaptations to help themselves and their species survive. In this program, learn about what animals need to do to survive in their natural ranges and how their adaptations help them along the way.

Discover the things that can cause animals to become endangered or even extinct; and learn what zoos and you can do to prevent it from happening. It’s not too late to save the world’s most precious animals if we all do our part.

Discover the relationship between our local waterways and the animals that live there. Meet animals that represent local species and participate in hands-on local aquatic macroinvertebrate water sample sorting. Find out how you can take action with citizen science and help conserve our river.

*This program is also offered without macroinvertebrate sample sorting. Two more animals will be presented in place of sorting if you choose this option.
