Summer 2008 Library Program

THE STRANGE WORLD OF REPTILES
In this program, the four main groups of reptiles; crocodilians, turtles, lizards and snakes are discussed. As part of the program, behaviors, habitats, adaptations, predator-prey relations, relationships with humans, individual animal personality and whether these animals are appropriate pets will be introduced.
 

KINGDOM OF THE COLDBLOODS
Similar to "The Strange World of Reptiles" this program also briefly describes amphibian life adaptations with frogs and toads, in addition to snakes, lizards, crocodilians and turtles.
 

TOP

EXTINCTION IN THE TROPICAL RAINFOREST
Habitat destruction, invasive or alien species, population, pollution and overdevelopment make up the "HIPPO" that is destroying the tropical rainforests of the world. Reptiles and amphibians are used as representatives of the effects these processes create.
 

THE GOOD, THE ICKY AND THE SLIMY
Insects and arachnids, (bugs and spiders) along with frogs and snakes are thought to be "icky" by many people. The facts about these creatures are even stranger than the fictions people have created!

TOP

YER DESSSPICABLE!!
Movie monsters are almost always based on living creatures. The incredible effects of modern film make the monster seem more real than the animals they were made from! This presentation looks at the anacondas, alligators, tarantulas, scorpions and others that live in our real world.

DINOSAURS AND FOSSILS
This program looks at the facts and the theories about dinosaurs using actual fossils and replicas. We will compare dinosaurs with a living alligator and lizard.Thinking scientifically will be fostered as well as a basic understanding of evolution and extinction.

REPTILES IN MYTHOLOGY, CULTURE AND HISTORY
Reptiles have penetrated our consciousness and our society to a deep and surprising degree. Using living animals, maps, art and artifacts this survey briefly looks at the roots of why humans have always both feared and respected reptiles. The cultures of Ancient Egypt, Rome, Polynesia, Medieval Europe and the Modern West are touched upon.
 

FASCINATING SNAKES
Pythons, kingsnakes, hognose snakes, anacondas and more; snakes of all sizes and descriptions, the who, what, where and whys of snakes.
