10 spots left
Service Description
For our wildlife tracking nerds out there! Come explore the world of osteology. The animal's skull is its "final track." Outdoors-people find and encounter skulls and bones of animals in the form of predator kill sites and so many more instances. This in-depth day of study is a glimpse into learning key features on animal skulls and bones that can help you identify who they came from and in some instances, how they died/got there. You can ID down to the animal group and in many cases the exact species if you have knowledge about a handful of distinct characteristics. We'll spend the day learning key features of skulls in various animal groups and study dozens of skulls in our collection. Come nerd out with us! This is a great opportunity for wildlife trackers and novices alike to zoom-in for a day on a seldom explored topic. This course will be indoors or in a covered/heated classroom. We'll send info on location, waivers, etc. VIA EMAIL in the weeks before class. Adults and Ages 16+ Book a spot for each person attending.
