Bob is learning a very true and valuable lesson - “In the end we will only conserve what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.” Baba Dioum My Nature Lab is a living classroom where you get to experience nature firsthand.

One of the neat things we see on the Lake Erie Islands is a very high frequency of melanistic garter snakes--up to 1 in 4 at some locations! #EMUherpetology

Thank you too!

Meet Aurora - our new bearded dragon at My Nature Lab. Aurora is a male dragon so will have to be kept separate from Bob but we will also be able to use them both to teach about lizard communication. Aurora will make an incredible addition to our teaching collection.

Bullfrogs are an invasive species here in Colorado that have permanently changed our natural ecosystems. I still think they are cool though. #nature #bullfrog

Fun little video showing a painted turtle taking a drink right before another painted turtle climbs on the log. #nature #turtle

Snowy egret chasing down a fish. Don’t get fooled by the pedestrian hunt in the beginning - it gets good. #nature #egret #bird
