Is love for life, within the animal kingdom?

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Chippokes is offering a special themed program looking closely at monogamous behaviors and "mating for life" practices amongst particular animal species that call Chippokes their home.

Join a ranger to learn about species of Virginia that do in-fact mate for life.

Explore why some species mate for life, how it has evolved, and how it is beneficial to these animals.

Meet at the Quayle Classroom.
