Conservation to You with the Zoo

What can skin and bones tell us about one curious animal?

Become a Paleoartist and see if you can figure out what mystery animal we will be learning more about.

But just because we have solved one mystery, does not mean there isn't more to discover.

We will work together to learn about how this special animal's skin and bones help us to learn more about their behaviors and adaptations.
