The Refuge Rocks: Animal Tricksters! Mimicry in Nature

Have you ever pretended to be something else?  An astronaut?  Or a superhero?  Or even your favorite animal?  Well, some animals pretend to be other things, too, but they don't need to wear special clothes to do it!  They're already dressed for the part.

When an animal looks like another animal, even though they're not the same kind of creature at all, it's called mimicry!  Some animals use mimicry in order to keep safe, while others use it to sneak a snack!

In this class, the youth will discover how animals use mimicry.  Each child will make a craft to take home and have fun participating in fun activities!  Come join us on February 17 for a free class for youth ages 5-10.  Registration required.
