Learn how animals adapt in order to survive and thrive in their environments.

Exceptional Animals meets curriculum for grades NC 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 – 12 / SC 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 – 12. Program can be adapted to meet the learning level of participants.


Under the guidance of a trained animal care professional, students will interact with a variety of live animals while they discover how animals adapt to survive in extreme environments. (Animals presented during programs may vary from those shown in photos.)

ALL PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO MEET CDC, LOCAL, AND STATE HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS.
