Description

Come and discover how animals have adapted to live in the cold Arctic climate! Our museum’s ocean educators will help you learn about the narwhal, an animal uniquely adapted to live in the Arctic. Together we will practice making observations and asking questions to better understand how adaptations help this animal survive. Then, the educators will show you how to make a model of a narwhal.
