Valley Park - Program Room A/BDiscover strange and unusual animals with Dan the Nature Man.
All of our wildlife is fascinating, but some are way out there. Join Dan the Nature Man to discover who swallows with their eyeballs, who pretends to be a cobra, who does the timberdoodle dance, who poops on their legs to cool off, and much more. As with all of his programs, Dan provides tips on where to see these amazing animals and behaviours. During this program, vote on which animal is Ontario’s weirdest.
