冰河时代画廊返回辛辛那提博物馆中心7月1日
心爱的画廊重新开放与更新和补充
CINCINNATI – Dire wolves and mastodons will once again prowl the halls of Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC). 经过广泛的更新，心爱的 冰河时代画廊 will emerge from its hibernation and transport guests back in time 15,到7月1日的更新世. 更新后的图库将用过去来告知现在, blending scientific analysis with awe-inspiring displays of prehistoric beasts and immersive landscapes.
借鉴其长处 古生物学集合CMC的 冰河时代画廊 will immerse guests in the Pleistocene, surrounding them with its sights and sounds. 寒冷的冰洞和小径上居住着巨大的野牛, 剑齿猫, the Jefferson ground sloth and the iconic dire wolves return with Ice Age plants, updated lighting and soundscape and new projections that illustrate how giant glaciers scoured and shaped the Miami Valley.
在冰河时期, the Greater Cincinnati region was a crossroads for megafauna drawn to natural salt deposits in the area. 作为乳齿象, 猛犸象, 巨大的野牛和高大的地懒在平原上吃草, 可怕的狼和剑齿虎在森林中徘徊. 人类猎人也跟踪这些巨大的野兽. 这些运动, 马蹄声, 爪子和脚, 开辟了早期拓荒者和定居者的足迹, 最终, 现代道路. The evidence of the clashes between predator and prey are scattered along creek beds and buried under rocks throughout the region.
“The impacts of the Pleistocene Epoch continue to resonate today. 事实上, it is the animals of the Pleistocene discovered near Big Bone Lick that launched the first paleontological expedition, 使其成为美国脊椎动物古生物学的发源地,格伦·斯托斯说, Ph.D., Withrow Farny Curator of Paleontology at Cincinnati Museum Center.
New to the gallery is a fully-articulated mastodon skeleton that will convey the size of the prehistoric beast in stunning detail. 一具古代巨型野牛骨架也将展出, along with horns and skull specimens alongside modern bison specimens, showing the similarities and stark differences between the ancestors. The ways animals adapted from the Pleistocene to modern eras will be further illustrated by several other bone and fossil specimens, 包括史前可怕的狼, 剑齿猫, 北美狮子，巨型海狸和现代灰狼, 美洲狮, 美洲虎和海狸. A collection of Clovis points – stone points used as tools and weapons including darts and spears – help tell the story of human interaction with other animals living in the region at the time.
也是新加入的 冰河时代画廊 对气候变化是否有更彻底的研究. Geologic evidence of climate change is supported by the changes in plant and animal species, 包括它们的大小, 独特的适应和灭绝. The Pleistocene and its tragic end for many species is one example of natural climate change, but the impact of humans is illustrated in stark detail by modern scientific research – human actions are causing the rapid rise in global temperatures we are experiencing today. Like the climate change animals faced at the end of the Pleistocene, scientists with citizen scientist partners are documenting disruptions that affect the ability of animals to thrive as conditions change. Like their (and our) ancestors, species today need to adapt and move or perhaps face extinction. 幸运的是, scientific research also shows us the many choices we can make, 作为个人, as communities and on a global scale to manage how much and how quickly global temperatures may rise.
“我们想通过我们的电影讲述两个关于气候变化的故事 冰河时代画廊. 更新世之一, in which gradual but natural changes led to significant changes and dire outcomes for some of the Ice Age’s species; and one of our current era, 其中快速, 人为影响可能不可逆转地颠覆生态系统,伊丽莎白·皮尔斯说。, 辛辛那提博物馆中心的总裁兼首席执行官. “The hope is that we can educate this and future generations who may be better stewards of our planet and all its inhabitants.”
