Skins & Skulls is a discussion of the identification and specialized adaptations of native Texas wildlife using animal skulls and skins.  Participants will investigate the skulls of these animals to identify ‘mystery mammals’, all while learning about the animal’s habitat, food sources, and adaptations for survival.  The concept and importance of land stewardship, including its wildlife, is introduced and reinforced throughout the presentation.

Let's Talk Turkey is an overview of bird adaptations. This program uses the wild turkey, along with other native wild Texas birds, to investigate what makes a bird a bird and how different birds use their adaptations to survive in their environments. Activities may include exploring bird anatomy, identifying a bird based on its skull and foot, experimenting with different bird beaks and how a bird might use a specific beak to get its food, measuring wingspan, and listening to bird vocalizations.  The concept and importance of land stewardship, including native Texas birds, is introduced and reinforced throughout the presentation.
