The Dickerson Park Zoo will come to the library on Tuesday, June 17 at 10am. Nature’s Palette: The Art and Science of Animal Colors, stripes, spots, swirls, and speckles—nature is bursting with color, patterns, and textures! This summer, join Dickerson Park Zoo as we explore the amazing diversity of animal coloration. Why do tigers have bold orange and black stripes? Do chameleons really change color just to camouflage? Are a parrot’s vibrant feathers a warning to predators, or do they serve another purpose? In this fun and fascinating program, kids and adults alike will uncover how animals use their colors and patterns for camouflage, communication, and clever survival strategies. Bring your thinking caps and curious questions as we embark on this
kaleidoscopic adventure!
This event is FREE and will be held in the library meeting room. Registration is not required. If you have any questions about this event, please call the library at (417)532-2148.
