An animal’s skull is perfectly adapted to its environmental lifestyle. Learn how to identify different skull features and how they relate to an animal’s position on the food chain. This program will provide opportunities to practice ID skills using museum-quality skull replicas and is an excellent follow-up to the mammal section of the Master Naturalist program.
Instructor Courtney Rivera studied forensic anthropology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and then worked in a cadaver lab before moving to education. She taught at the middle school and high school levels. At the high school level, she taught forensic science, environmental science, and biology.
