Perot Museum of Nature and Science Brings Amazing Animals to Life

The “Amazing Animals Built to Survive” exhibit will be open to the public on June 13^th at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. At this special traveling exhibit, guests will learn about the marvels of nature while gaining first-hand experiences with animals and their specially-designed systems.

Committed to helping people learn more about the world around them, the Perot Museum is launching the special exhibit in an effort to help visitors learn about the marvelous engineering that goes into a variety of different animals. Exhibits on display are geared specifically toward exploring the adaptations that help animals to survive. For example, museum visitors will have the opportunity to catch the wind with simulated wings in a variety of different sizes and lengths, to feel the pressure required for a giraffe’s heart to pump blood all the way through its body and neck, to experience the force of a shark’s jaws and to see first-hand how a spider’s web is stronger than steel. All of this information will be shared via hands-on displays, movies, digital interactives and opportunities to see the animals that are being explored.

Opened to the public on December 1, 2012, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science is a relatively new addition to the Dallas area. With 11 permanent exhibit halls, the museum provides kids and adults of all ages with ample opportunity to explore hands-on science exhibits. Among these is the Rose Hall of Birds, which explores the connection between birds and dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are further explored in the T. Boone Pickens Life Then and Now Hall. Human anatomy and physiology is explored in the Being Human Hall, while a variety of animal species are examined in the Discovering Life Hall. The Earth and its powerful forces are explored in The Rees-Jones Foundation Dynamic Earth Hall, while the view is expanded to the entire universe in the Expanding Universe Hall. Other Earth elements are explored in the Lyda Hill Gems and Minerals Hall and the Tom Hunt Energy Hall, which highlights the science and technology involved in drilling.
