Event details
Are we talking zombies and monsters? No! Ladybugs, opossums, hognose snakes, mallard ducks and others all play dead. Discover who uses this form of defense and practice your own version with games and crafts. Then go on a short hike to see if we can discover any of these incredible critters.
