Hibernating Animals of BC

Event Date
-

Join us and our friends at Streamable Learning as we imagine going to sleep and not waking up for months! This is just what certain animals do in order to be safe, dry and warm during the coldest time of the year. During this session, we’ll explore animals like bears and marmots, and gently elbow our way (so to speak) into their dens to learn why and how they hibernate. We will look at displays in the Royal BC Museum galleries, investigate specimens in the Royal BC Museum collection, and at the end we’ll share a sleepy, bedtime story.

We provide the paper, pens, envelopes and even the stamps - you write the letter. Stop by our letter writing station on the third floor mezzanine, January 2 - 7 between 11 AM and 3PM and reacquaint yourself with the lost art of letter writing. Maybe you'll write a thank-you note to your Aunt, a teacher or a query to your local representative. Who knows, the letter you write could one day become part of our future archives.
