Hibernating Animals of BC

This digital program is designed for Grades K-3  

Imagine going to sleep and not waking up for months. This is what certain animals do in order to be safe, dry, and warm during the coldest time of the year.

During this session, we will explore animals like bears and marmots, and gently elbow our way (so to speak) into their dens to learn why and how they hibernate. We will look at displays in the Royal BC Museum galleries and investigate specimens in the Royal BC Museum collection. At the conclusion of the program, we will share a bedtime story.

Your guides for this program will be Learning Program Developer Chris O'Connor and Anna Chinn, Collection Manager of Birds and Mammals.
