Animal Adaptations – Into the Wild at Acorn Acres

July’s Inside the Wild program explores the physical and behavioral traits that help wildlife survive in their environments. Participants will investigate structural adaptations (such as claws, teeth, and fur), behavioral adaptations (including burrowing, hibernation, and foraging), and camouflage as they relate to specific habitats and ecosystems. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, students will analyze how form and function, environmental pressures, and survival strategies shape wildlife over time. This session strengthens scientific vocabulary, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of how animals are adapted to thrive in the wild
