Predators and Prey
August 5-7, 2011
$330 (10% membership discount)
From the classic story of the lynx and hare to the long studied relationship between wolves and sheep, the balancing act of predators and prey is more intricate than it appears. Each plays a complex role in shaping the other’s population, behavior, and physiology. Join Alaskan wildlife biologist Ken Whitten for an investigation of the dynamic relationships between Denali’s predators and prey, both big and small. We’ll take a look at mammals and birds and the many strategies that predators and prey use to survive. As we pass through various habitats, we'll discuss the impact of environmental factors on predator-prey interactions as well as how predators and prey affect the habitats they live in.
