Meeting Room

Join the zookeepers for a 30-minute program and meet animals from the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo to learn about the incredible traits animals have to survive in their homes.

We share this planet with so many unique animals and each one has special adaptations to help them survival in their native habitats. The zookeepers at the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo will be joined by animal ambassadors to showcase their amazing adaptations and to talk about the many ways we can be good neighbors to wildlife.
