Animals On The Go - Exotic

Check out a chinchilla, learn about lizards, and have fun with a frog!
Animals on the Go is a program to provide a hands-on experience for students, allowing them to touch various animals while learning information about them. Topics include origin, habitat, habits, life span, gestation, and diet. Programs are adapted to the appropriate age level and can be tailored to complement your educational curriculum. Learn where these animals come from and what makes them unique. Who can lick its eyebrows? Who has the thickest fur of any land animal? What (or who!) do they eat? Reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and even an arachnid, are ready to come and visit you! We also have a “No Fur, No Feathers” program to suit your needs. We can travel to your school or child care center, or, for even more fun, you can come to visit the Farm and combine AOTG with other Gifford Farm programs.
