Learn About CT's 'Fearsome Foursome' At Southington Event

SOUTHINGTON, CT — With Marvel set to release a new "Fantastic Four" movie this summer, the Southington Public Library on Monday has a special program planned about another popular quartet.

Except they're not superheroes. They're mammals.

On Monday, the library at 255 Main St., Southington, is hosting a state wildlife expert for a program from 6 to 7 p.m. on Connecticut's "Fearsome Foursome" — four creatures living in Connecticut and, in some cases, sharing space with humans.

Their names? Raccoon, skunk, opossum, and porcupine.

Guests will be able to join Ginny Apple, a master wildlife conservationist with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, for "an enlightening discussion of Connecticut's fearsome foursome."

"Often overlooked and misunderstood, these fascinating animals have spectacular characteristics and adaptations for life in their environments," wrote the library in an announcement.

Event attendees will learn about the life and habits of these four nocturnal creatures and how unique characteristics help them navigate their environments, evade predators, and survive.

The program is free, but registration in advance is requested.
