Dickerson Park Zoo @ Rogersville

Join us for our special event at the Dickerson Park Zoo! All ages are welcome. No registration required.

Nature’s Palette: The Art and Science of Animal Colors. This summer, join Dickerson Park Zoo as we explore the amazing diversity of animal coloration. Why do tigers have bold orange and black stripes? Do chameleons really change color just to camouflage? Are a parrot’s vibrant feathers a warning to predators, or do they serve another purpose?

In this fun and fascinating program, kids and adults alike will uncover how animals use their colors and patterns for camouflage, communication, and clever survival strategies. Bring your thinking caps and curious questions as we embark on this kaleidoscopic adventure!
