During a recent student assembly, an environmentalist gave an engaging presentation about the diverse animals of New Jersey and their unique adaptations to the environment. The students learned how animals like deer, foxes, and raccoons have evolved to thrive in different habitats.
As part of the interactive experience, the environmentalist brought in animal furs, allowing the students to touch and feel the different textures, gaining a deeper understanding of how these adaptations help the animals survive. The photos include students looking at an animal’s skull petting the fur of a raccoon. The assembly was hands-on and educational, sparking a greater appreciation for local wildlife and conservation efforts.
