Mammals in Winter: Survival and Adaptation December 9, 2007

Family Program by Mark Omura, curatorial assistant in Mammology.

When the ground is covered with snow and the trees are bare -- just how do mammals such as rabbit, deer, squirrels and lynx survive the cold winter months? Join Mark Omura, curatorial assistant of Mammology
at Harvard, and explore how some of our local northeastern mammals use a variety of strategies to cope. Examine an array of real mammal specimens from Harvard's famous collections for a closer look at their amazing adaptations.

This event is FREE with museum admission. No RSVP needed!
