Our rangers will be showing specimens of San Diego’s common animal species. Participants will be able to touch animal pelts, see real taxidermy and learn about local wildlife! Our Animal Ambassador Raptor Team will also be onsite. Learn what these birds of prey look like up close, where they live, what they eat, how they hunt and what survival skills they’ve picked up over time, to help them thrive in San Diego’s diverse environments.
