Slow down!
June 7, 2024 – September 5, 2024
Sometimes being slow, small or weak can have its advantages! Survival of the Slowest looks at the often-overlooked species that have used their disadvantages to help them survive—and even thrive—in a world where large, strong and fast animals are often at the top of the food chain.
Guests get an up-close look at wildlife and daily presentations featuring live snakes, tortoises, a hedgehog, an iguana and more*. Meet animals that have survived for millions of years despite being very slow and learn about the puzzling sides of evolution and adaptation. Discover the difference between warm- and cold-blooded species, discover why some animals need less food than others and see the unique ways they hide from predators.
Exhibit included with Museum admission.
