Today I got to go to the BYU Paleontology Museum with my mom, sister, and her four kids. It was just the right size for the kids--like 4 rooms. It was super high quality--it seemed like they only had the best stuff on display. None of this fluff that you have to go through to get to the good stuff. From the very first room they had complete skeletons! And, according to my research beforehand, it has one of the 5 best Jurassic period collections in the world! Pretty neat.
This awesome skeleton we're standing in front of is a giant ground sloth. I bet it's an ancestor to the three-toed sloth. I got to hold a baby one of those on my mission to Brazil. Pretty cool. Anyway, this beast is 25 feet long, stands as tall as a giraffe (when standing), but has a hard time putting its feet down due to its massive claws. Ouch!
