Discover the marvels of natural engineering in Animals: Machines in Motion! Explore how a variety of living and extinct species — from microbes and trees to fish and mammals — have evolved to live on Earth. See how humans draw upon the adaptations of living and extinct species for modern innovations such as prosthetic limbs.
This interactive experience features digital media, scientific models, and real specimens, including a giraffe's heart! You can also come face-to-face with a life-sized cast of T. rex Sue, the largest and most complete T. rex ever discovered. Learn about the bite force and gait of this species that ruled the world around 68 million years ago while you gaze up at this 12-foot-tall, 42-foot-long fossil!
