McEcoProduction:

At some point all the above animals ( minus the squirrel) were successfully raised or brought in the lab as part of the course requirements. The class as a whole not only studied the characteristics of their animals, but also developed good handling practices, and a strong respect for the beauty and needs of their charges. Several behaviors were recorded in student produced videos which were shared at the end of the semester.
