Cats of New Hampshire

Event Details

As a family of mammals, cats are perhaps the ultimate stealth hunters. Acute senses, an extremely flexible skeletal structure, razor sharp retractable claws, and penetrating shearing teeth combine to enable each species of "wild cat" to succeed as top tier predators. This program will focus on the natural history, current status, and future of New Hampshire's wild felines. 7 pm.
