Ranger Eric taught the students about the importance of animal adaptations to their survival and, to the students’ delight, even introduced them to a variety of critters, such as a corn snake, a bearded dragon, a white dove, a “walking stick” insect and a hedgehog. Ranger Eric held each of these animals right up to his camera so the students could get an up-close look as he discussed their particular adaptations. The fourth graders were captivated by this unique experience and learned a lot while having fun.
