Distance Learning : Crawling Is not Appalling

Our reptile expert is just itching to take out and show your class whatever creature best fits your class’ discussion. This is not a routine animal show-and-tell and no two sessions are ever alike. Our close-up camera gets you face-to-face with these animals as they eat, move, blink and yes, …sometimes even poop. Plus, explore animal adaptation with our original hands-on challenges.
