The Natural History of Animal Ambassador Care & Programs

Many aspects of nature and conservation are best explored with a firsthand look at living animals. Meet several live animal ambassadors from Carnegie Museum of Natural History and hear their impactful stories. Senior Program Manager and certified veterinary technician Leslie Wilson will start with a lecture about how the science and natural history of each animal ambassador informs their diet, habitat, care, and enrichment. After the lecture, get a closer look at animal adaptations and behaviors in a drop-in meet and greet session with Leslie and the animal ambassadors.
