Arizona Science Center is slowing things down a bit with its newest exhibition featuring animals that use being slow, small or weak to their advantage.

“Survival of the Slowest,” the newest exhibition at Arizona Science Center, opens Feb. 5, and allows visitors the opportunity to meet live animals such as a pair of two-toed sloths, a green basilisk, a red-footed tortoise, a four-toed hedgehog, royal python, Asian forest scorpions and several other species highlighting the advantages of being slow along with some of the disadvantages of being fast. Explore dozens of habitats teeming with live animals and discover their counterintuitive adaptations and surprising strategies for survival.

Live animal presentations are scheduled throughout the day with wildlife educators and animal care staff on hand to both educate and “wow” the audiences, and also to engage with guests in an interactive hands-on approach to learning about and more importantly, connecting with wildlife.

“Survival of the Slowest” will be open daily to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a limited engagement through Aug. 7. Tickets are available to purchase at Arizona Science Center and www.azscience.org. For additional information, call 602-716-2000.
