Snakes! With Naturalist Jenny Richards of Shawnee State Park • 12:15 p.m.
What can you do to preserve Ohio’s endangered species and why should you care? Join Shawnee State Park naturalist, Jenny Richards for a peak into the lives of the rare and elusive Timber Rattlesnake. Learn about the life history, see a live Timber Rattlesnake, and track one down right in the museum using a cool scientific tool called radio telemetry. Jenny will also have one of her old friends, Mr. King who eats venomous snakes for a living. Can you guess what kind of snake he is?
