Families in the area are invited to a wild and colorful adventure as the West Plains Public Library presents a special program with Dickerson Park Zoo, part of the library’s Summer Reading Program festivities.
The free event, titled “Nature’s Palette: The Art and Science of Animal Colors,” will take place Thursday, July 10, with two showtimes available—10 a.m. and 1 p.m.—at the West Plains Civic Center.
Guests of all ages will discover the fascinating world of animal colors and patterns in this interactive and educational show. From the bold stripes of tigers to the shifting hues of chameleons and the eye-catching feathers of parrots, the program explores how and why animals display such remarkable colors.
“Kids and adults alike will learn how animals use their coloration for camouflage, communication, and survival,” organizers said. “It’s a fun way to blend science with wonder.”
The program is free to attend and open to the public. No registration is required.
