Beavers are one of the largest rodents in North America. With their peculiar looks and unusual habits, they attract attention wherever they go. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is attempting to capitalize on curiosity, and they set up an online program about beavers.<\/p>\n
Beavers are known for chewing wood and building dams. This rodent plays an integral part in the outdoor world, and MDC is planning on displaying these habits in a puppet show.<\/p>\n
A puppet will describe the lives of these mammals and will talk about the special adaptations beavers have to live in and around water.\u00a0 This program is entitled “Little Acorns: Busy Beavers”.<\/p>\n
Also planned is a question and answer time where participants can interact with the presenters.<\/p>\n
MDC is planning this online program for children ages 2-7. Although older children and even adults can benefit from this presentation, younger children may have trouble focusing on the teaching aspects.<\/p>\n
The MDC set aside the date of July 31 from 10:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
