Animal Habitats at the Randall Museum
The Randall Museum is home to various California native animals in its Wild in California exhibit. Part of the Randall's mission statement explains, "we hope to inspire a genuine connection between our visitors and nature in California." This morning the girls experiences included a live animal program, Animal Habitats and visit to the Animal Room. At the presentation, girls learned more about animals: where they live, what they eat, and adaptations that help them survive in their environment.
