Happy World Wildlife Day! Have you ever touched bear fur or looked at the teeth of a beaver? Do they spend a lot of time in the water, do they eat meat or plants, or do they have a good sense of smell? Let's find out. You can learn a lot about animals based on what they leave behind. Drop by the naturalist's table to see the skulls and furs of local Virginia wildlife. Gather clues about how some animals live by using only their skulls or fur as evidence.
