Pop-Up Science: Venom vs Poison
Do you know the difference between venom and poison? Hint: we aren't talking about comic book characters and 80s hair metal bands. Come chat with a ranger about venom and poison and learn about these unique adaptations that some wildlife have. See and touch objects and/or replicas and share what you know as we discuss this topic. This program is for park visitors of all ages and is kid friendly.
