In this multi-day class, we will do a deep dive into the specific orders of sharks. Each week will consist of overview and specific species of each order. Your learner will explore what they eat, how they live and where. This will be an instructor led presentation style class, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion, which will also be encouraged. I would encourage your learner to complete my Advanced Shark course prior to this class, but not required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love to teach about all creatures great and small, especially if they are covered in scales, lick their own eyes, breath underwater or even fly!
I have had over 10 years of experience with animal rehabilitation facilities, zoological parks and nature museums.
I love getting people excited or even freaked out about this huge animal kingdom and the amazing things that they can do.
I was raised on Wild America, Steve Irwin, The Kratt Brothers and any animal show I could find, I have had all sorts of creepy crawly pets and find that the most scary might just be misunderstood. Reviews
