Have you ever touched bear fur or looked at the teeth of a beaver? You can learn a lot about animals based on what they leave behind. 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. Drop by the interpreter'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.
