Adaptations for Secondary School

Adaptations

How do animals survive their often treacherous conditions? Students can discover how animals use their ecological niche to seek food, and avoid predation, drought, and harsh environments. By the end of this show, not only will students understand common structural, behavioural, and physiological adaptations to the Australian environment, they will have seen first hand these adaptations in our very own hand-raised wildlife. An exciting and awe-inspiring experience.
