The Secret Life of Squirrels

Kelsey Low, Adult Programs Manager at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, will tell us about squirrels.  Squirrels are so common that we take them for granted, but they really live fascinating lives. For example, did you know that Eastern Gray Squirrels are one of the few animal species known to lie to deceive others, tree squirrels have built-in sunglasses, and flying squirrels are vicious predators? These ubiquitous and adaptable creatures are a great way to introduce wildlife topics to an urban audience, and in this class you’ll learn engaging facts about squirrel anatomy, ecology, and behavior to share with the public. We will focus on three Houston species: Eastern Gray, Fox, and Southern Flying.
