Popular
program on wild creatures
of Michigan
The Michigan Wildlife Sampler
format calls on Nature Discovery to choose which wildlife
species to feature.
Since they are
especially renowned for their live reptiles and
amphibians, some of these are always incorporated into the
presentation.
They also commonly
choose an insect or other invertebrate, a bird, a mammal or a
fish, and possibly a wild plant to highlight.
