Daily Wildlife Talks

Meet the Museum's wildlife ambassadors!

Our wildlife specialists are dedicated to the well-being of all the animal ambassadors living at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. We invite Museum guests to learn more about the husbandry, training, and enrichment that we provide these animals in order to maintain the highest standards of care.

Join us for one of our daily wildlife talks to get better acquainted with the species in the Ralph Perkins II Wildlife Center & Woods Garden—Presented by KeyBank. You may even have a chance to observe feeding or animal enrichment in action! Each program lasts about 15 minutes. Wildlife talks take place at different locations throughout the day.

Times and locations are subject to change based on weather and animal availability. Please check with Visitor Experience staff upon arrival to confirm which habitats will be featured that day.
