The Cat Has Left the Building!
Ice Age Encounters are no longer at NHM. Starting September 12, Ice Age Encounters and our Saber-Toothed Cat puppet appear Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits.
Outside the Page Museum, you can see where saber-toothed cat fossils are excavated from the asphalt seeps. Inside, paleontologists and volunteers work on those fossils, and then they're exhibited. And now, in Ice Age Encounters, you can imagine with us how this prehistoric cat might have looked and moved in life!
