Creepy Creatures

by Lee Richardson Zoo

Not everyone is the same, what makes us unique makes us special! The same goes for wildlife. Join us as we explore some of the animals that get the reputation of being a creepy creature. This discussion will come to life in your classroom as your students meet Ambassador Animals and discover how these unique animals are here to help. The Lee Richardson Zoo's Distance Learning Studio offers a multitude of environmental programs to students all over the nation. Our programs include 2-4 live animals. However, we are currently unable to give programs from actual exhibits around the zoo.
