Not only is a chinchilla's fur the softest in the world, it comes in handy when avoiding natural predators, too! Have you ever heard of a "fur slip"? A fur slip is a chinchilla's natural defense against predators in the wild. Using this technique, a chinchilla will release big clumps of their fur to free themselves from a predator's grip.
Returning in September: Mother Nature's Storytime! You and your little ones can once again enjoy leisurely mornings here at the Nature Center with weekly themed nature stories. Each week features a new story and an accompanying craft or activity. You may even go on short walks and get to meet some of our animal friends.

Today's Pride Month highlight features activist Rikki Weber. Rikki is a Legal Practice Manager with Earth Justice, a nonprofit public interest environmental law organization that aims to protect people’s health, to preserve magnificent places and wildlife, to advance clean energy, and to combat climate change. Rikki created an LGBTQ group within Earth Justice to recognize fellow queer employees, as well as LGBTQ environmentalists from surrounding communities.
Happy National Pollinator Week! 🐝🦋•
