Wildlife Moms
The arrival of spring means the arrival of newborns for wildlife parents in our area, and each has their own unique way of caring for their young. Mother Cottontail Rabbits check on their babies once or twice a day, while mother Wolf Spiders give their babies a full-time piggyback ride until they reach adulthood. Join a naturalist for a talk on these memorable wildlife moms found in our region.
