Living Collections

Season 11 Episode 5 | 26m 4sVideo has Closed Captions

Meet the people who care for "living collections" at the NC Museum of Natural Science.

At the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences there are year-round collections of living things...20-year old snakes, 12-year old salamanders, rare turtles, seldom-seen fish, native moths, and giant grasshoppers. This collection is often the first contact with living, native animals for visiting school children. Each has to be cared for & feed just the right foods within the right conditions.
