Ever found a bone in the woods and wondered whose it was? This drop-in nature cart at the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center shows how animal skulls hold clues to an animal's identity and what it eats.

It takes place on Friday, October 30, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at Fort Snelling State Park, Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center (101 Snelling Lake Road, St. Paul, MN 55111).
