This coming Saturday the American Museum of Natural History is going to lift the veil on their new temporary exhibition Extreme Mammals, and I was fortunate enough to get an invitation to the blogger preview being held the day before.
Inspired by yesterday's comments, I'm very keen to get posting on the Paleogene mammals we were talking about.
ZOMG! Those are funny. Did you also see the Moa and the Mammoth? The wack-a-mole with the Saiga is the funniest, IMHO.
are you inta theres? I am!
(sorry. Couldn't resist.)
I love these advertisements. It's interesting to note that the producers chose to use non-dinosaurs in these ads.
Speaking of which, that's a freakin' huge dinoceratan...
Bora; I never got to see them on tv, but it looks like all of them are on YouTube. The "saiga" is really a Syndyoceras, though. I wish they were still around too!
Hai; It was definitely good to see some mammals featured prominently, and Eocene ones at that! I just wish someone would get around to studying the dinoceratans again. When the best review of the group was published over a decade ago we have got a problem.
Cup o' Noodles may be the last thing on my mind when watching those commercials, which are nonetheless awesome.
Too funny.
It's a little closer in geological time than dinosaurs and humans at least. I'd call this a good reminder of the lack of science knowledge in this country. It's a good thing uintatheres didn't survive into the age of modern humans, because I'll bet "big game" hunters would love a six-horned trophy on their walls!
The one with the brontotheres is my personal favourite.
