The Mansfield third and fourth grade gifted and talented students recently visited the Janet Huckabee Nature Center. They learned about critters of Arkansas, practiced their archery skills, and learned about Arkansas snakes, even petting them!
Throughout their time at the center, they learned that there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Rather, that there are only venomous and non-venomous snakes.
A few fun-facts they learned:
Do you know what snakes do when they get excited?
They poop!
When a frog swallows, its eyeballs push the food down the esophagus then come back up to the eye sockets.
The students had a wonderful time at the nature center, and learned a lot too!
