Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

Nature is full of diversity, but sometimes even distantly related animals can look similar. Come join us as we explore the wonderful and often surprising world of convergent evolution, or phylogeny! By playing an indoor matching game, we will discover how a species’ habitat can influence its appearance and behavior. Free and open to all ages!
