This week, do lunch al fresco as you meet the animals! Come face to face each day with live animals from around the world. See a blue-tongued skink from Australia, a ball python from equatorial west Africa, a corn snake from North Carolina, and other fascinating creatures from the Museumís living collections. In celebration of National Biodiversity Month, learn more about the state's abundant biodiversity, including salamanders.
