During this course, we will unpack the reasons why arachnids are unique and important to the environment. The purpose of this class is to develop a fascination for arachnids, using live animals to exemplify the survival tactics of different species. For example, some species of tarantula have barbed hairs on their back and legs that they can release to stun an attacker. This is the perfect adaptation to protect themselves from predators. During this course, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and also overcome any fears related to an arachnid's creepy persona. No prior knowledge or materials are needed in order for learners to participate in this course.

Hi everyone,
My name is Madi and I am an animal educator, zookeeper and conservationist. I have worked with all kinds of animals and aim to educate you on how to care for them. I have been certified by National Geographic as an educator, and have been working with all sorts of exotic animals for over 7 years. Additionally, I have traveled multiple times to the wilderness of Nepal and Central America for conservation work. I hope to inspire children to care for the natural world and the animals that live within it! My favorite animal is an Okapi, which looks like a zebra but is actually related to the giraffe!Reviews
