Every Saturday at 11 a.m. join us for Bewildering Biofacts! What’s a biofact you may wonder? A biofact is a biological artifact such as a bone, fur, egg, or shells that comes from a plant or animal. Each week we will take a closer look at a different biofact, learn about the animal it came from, and complete a related activity.

This week we explore animal furs. Why do mammals have fur? How has fur been used? Learn about the properties of animal fur, how furs have been used in the past, and get an up-close look at animal furs.
