DESCRIPTION
Ancient skulls still speak to us. To understand what they have to say we will explore our own skulls, consider structure and function, and then roam our galleries searching out ancient mammals. Who were these creatures? Were they hunters? Were they hunted? Did they live underground? Answers lie in thinking like a paleontologist!

PROGRAM STRUCTURE
This live interactive program utilizes our Cherish Nebraska exhibit for our exploration. We always leave plenty of time for questions, too!
