How much does a bison eat? Do the Andean bears really eat fruit? Students will study the differences between omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores at the Zoo. They’ll learn how keepers handle the dietary needs for the animals by studying various animal diets, observing animals at exhibits, and taking a behind-the-scenes look at how foods are prepared at the Zoo.
