The Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks’ (MDWFP) Visitor Education Center (VEC) will host a “Fish Predators” program from March 12 – 15 at 2 p.m. each day.
Participants will learn about different birds, reptiles, and amphibians that prey on fish. Replica skulls, eggs, and talons of some of these predators will be available for youth to handle during the program.
Each program will be followed by a question and answer session at the center’s aquarium, and participants will learn to identify several species of freshwater fish native to Mississippi.
The program is free with the price of admission. Admission is $2.50 for adults ages 18-59, and $2.00 for youth ages 3-17 and adults over the age of 60. For additional information, call the VEC at (662) 563-8068.
The VEC is part of the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks’ North Mississippi Fish Hatchery and is located at Exit 233 east off I-55.
