Animals on Display

Critter Corner
The live animal collection at HSC is maintained for educational purposes to further the appreciation of living things and to demonstrate biological and life history processes. Where appropriate and under supervision of Center staff, visitors may handle and examine most of the animals. Group demonstrations and activities using live animals can be arranged.

Animal Riddle!

The answer is an animal that lives at HSC. Can you guess who it is?

Cluck and squeak, whistle and shriek
As for making sounds I’m not meek
My main and dominant color is grey
Yet at the tail I’ve maroon to display
Smart as a dolphin or maybe a chimp
When it comes to words I’m no wimp
Perhaps Galileo, Polly is not my name
Yet I’ll take that cracker just the same
Who am I?
