Predators and Prey
No
No
For Children in grades 2-5
Plants make their own food, but animals must eat! In nature, the "eaters" and the "eaten" keep a kind of balance so that both may survive. We will discover what animals eat what animals here at the Garden, in our ponds, streams, and woodlands. How do predators catch their prey? How can animals without sharp teeth and claws escape hungry hunters? Are there any "good guys" and "bad guys" in nature? Through careful observation and role playing, we will learn some surprises about our animal neighbors.
