Museum of Natural History The Second Blog

For my second blog, I decided to pay a visit to the American Museum of natural history. I visited several exhibits including the Heilbrunn Cosmic Pathway. there I learned more about the earth and solar system. Then I proceeded to visit the North American forest exhibit where it showed us the different types of forests and talked about deforestation. right next to this exhibit was the Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life. Where you’re immediately greeted by a giant whale.

It had all kinds of animals such as otters, dolphins, and even a model of a sperm whale eating a giant squid. The next exhibit was the Bernard family hall of North American mammals. where it had a wide range of animals including grizzly bears, moose, bison, and dears, lots of dears. I also went to the new exhibit the opened in June. it’s called Inside You. the exhibit was about the bacteria the lives inside the body, and how they affect it. in there I learned about a new theory that gut bacteria might be a cause of autism and that changing it in a certain way may treat it. Unfortunately, I did not have time to go and visit the special exhibits. So I just visited a random exhibit and snapped this as photo proof.
