Date/Time

10:00 am until 5:00 pm

This event occurs daily, every 1 day(s).

Description

 

Experience some of the slimiest, stinkiest and downright yuckiest creatures on earth!



 Oozing with disgusting science and interactive learning games the new “Animal Grossology” exhibit takes a slightly different view of the animal kingdom.

Many may think leeches are pretty gross, but they’re used after some surgeries to assist in the healing process. Did you know that cows are one of the gassiest animals on earth? Learn why the dung beetle is nature’s living pooper scooper and why scientists are studying slug and snail slime production for clues in treating cystic fibrosis.



The exhibit follows in the footsteps of the overwhelmingly popular “Grossology, the (Impolite) Science of the Human Body” and is the next generation in the GROSSOLOGY series.

 

Animal Grossology was created and produced by Advanced Exhibits, a division of Advanced Animations LLC, in collaboration with Sylvia Branzei, the author of the popular GROSSOLOGY books.
