Meet the Hissers

Some people might get the impression from this blog that the only animals we have at Pacific Science Center are naked mole-rats and butterflies. Well of course that’s not true! The Life Sciences staff is very proud of the wide variety of animals in our care. In order to alleviate that impression, from time to time we will feature some of our less celebrated inhabitants. Today's featured animal resides in the Insect Village.


Watch Science Interpreter Jim McNamara acquaint us with the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.



Next time you visit Pacific Science Center stop by and get up close and personal with our Hissers because unlike our butterflies, you can touch them!

  1. I love that you get to touch them! Unlike the butterflies, which are strictly for looking at.
