Stayin’ Alive
Many animals in the food chain have developed amazing adaptations that keep them from becoming the next item on the menu.  Some have clever camouflage, some have built in armor and others even sacrifice body parts.  This overnight will dive into these defenses and more in a fun filled night at the Zoo.
