This very special Big Cat experiential learning program will have a small group, private guided behind the scenes tour of the big cat enclosures and a one hour Big Cat Keeper Program to learn about the diets, activities and lifestyles of Big Cats.
We will learn from wild animal experts at the Central Florida Animal Reserve as they instruct us on big cat anatomy, habitats in the wild and in captivity, the social structures of cats and their importance in the animal kingdom. Students will participate in games and activities during the educational portion of the program.
