Site # 2 of an amazingly long series.
Discovery Room
American Museum
of Natural History
New
York, New York, United States
This is an artist's rendering
of the Discovery Room. The Prestosuchus is hiding just off to the right
of this picture.
Piece together
a Prestosuchus.
It's
fourteen feet long and you'll be relieved to know that it's long dead and
fossillized.
Pshew! So there's this big bunch of bones that look
like pick-up-sticks. If you take your time, you'll be able to figure out
which foot goes on which leg and which rib goes where. It was so popular,
we couldn't get near it.
Notice that the tall guy
can't figure out what on earth he's doing,
but the short guy has this
all under control.
If you can't either, go look
at the baobab tree or the oak tree or the snakes or the Ganesh lunchbox
or the Mareyuska or the microscopes or the butterflies or the dino egg
fossils.
Think this baobab tree is
big? The trunk of a real one would be wider than the whole Discovery room!
We're just glad that the bugs that live in the tree are not that big, too
.
If that's not
enough to keep you busy, there's even stuff more just up a set of stairs!
All this is just inside the 77th Street entrance of the AMNH and you need
to make a reservation.
Make sure your parents behave.
