"Animal Gibberish, Subtitled for Humans" is a fun filled and interactive exhibit that will help you discover who does what and send messages just like animals do! Have you ever wondered what animals are saying? Animals express themselves in many ways to convey simple messages, such as "I like you", "Danger!" or "I'm Hungry". The more social they are, the more unique their ways of communicating. Exhibit produced by the Sherbrooke Museum of Natural Science, funded in part by Canadian Heritage. Proudly presented by Ontario Power Generation and 101.7 The One. This exhibit is open from May 18 until September 3, 2018.
