Event Description
This fascinating exhibition explores the surprising and often extraordinary world of extinct and living mammals. Featuring spectacular fossils, unusual specimens and vivid reconstructions, the exhibition examines the ancestry and evolution of numerous species, ranging from huge to tiny and from speedy to sloth-like. "Extreme Mammals" offers visitors a fun and intriguing opportunity to learn how life evolved, why animals may — despite sharing some key characteristics — look and behave so differently from one another, and how there can be such extraordinary diversity within a single group. The exhibit examines how some lineages died out while others diversified to form the groups of well-known mammals living today.
