Why do beavers have flat tails, why are moose so tall, and why do geese migrate in the spring and fall? How are animals in Alberta able to survive in the unique environments they call home?

Alberta is a province of WILD diversity, with six natural regions in addition to its seasonal swings from frigid winters to bountiful summers. Students will explore the Natural History Hall, getting up close to wild creatures and investigating the adapted features that allow them to thrive in Alberta.
