Extreme Mammals

On view March 2 - August 18, 2013*

Examine some of the oddest and most intriguing animals of all time in Extreme Mammals: The Biggest, Smallest, and Most Amazing Mammals of All Time.

From the speedy to the slothful, the towering to the tiny, and the furry to the armor-clad, come nose-to-snout with an amazing array of extraordinary critters. Stand beneath the largest land mammal that ever lived, and peek at a creature so small that it weighed no more than a dollar bill!

Through the use of dynamic media displays, animated computer interactives, hands-on activities, touchable fossils, casts, taxidermy specimens, and more, Extreme Mammals highlights distinctive mammalian qualities and illuminates the shared ancestry that unites these diverse creatures.

Tickets for Extreme Mammals are included with Museum admission and are free for members.
