What’s so wild about Philadelphia? More than you think! We share a habitat with birds, mammals, bugs, reptiles and amphibians — and even fish. These creatures are all around, and you might see them if you know where to look. Join Academy scientists and John Heinz Wildlife Refuge rangers for a fun conversation to learn how animals journey through our neighborhoods. Ask the experts what you need to do to build a better backyard to support local species, and get the scoop on all the best places in the city to stop and watch the wildlife go by.
