From a hot, dry desert to a wet, leafy rainforest, all animals have special adaptations to survive in their habitats. How do they find food and avoid predators? Do they dig? Do they climb? Do they change color? How do some species deal with lots of water, or very little water? Come find out as you meet some desert and rainforest animals up close, and learn about how their wild relatives survive. Program is free and no registration is required. Sponsored by Friends of the Wareham Free Library.
