Exhibition: Supercrocodilians - Darwin’s ultimate survival story12 February – 29 November 2009Flinders Gallery, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern TerritoryAn exhibition demonstrating Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution through crocodilians. The first crocodilians appeared in the fossil record approximately 200 million years ago. Since then crocodiles have survived major extinction and other severe global events, adapting to changed conditions, where other major animal groups disappeared altogether. They are represented today by some of the most iconic and fascinating living animals. Supercrocodilians: Darwin’s ultimate survival story will feature an array of crocodilian specimens from ancient fossils to modern examples. Visitors will come face to face with one of the largest crocodilians known to have ever existed, which may have measured over 12 metres in length. Other displays include Australian fossil species from the last 100 million years, which show a diversity of aquatic forms as well as species apparently better adapted for a life on land. Modern crocodilians, many from overseas, will be represented as well. Complimenting the exhibition will be hands-on displays with interactive elements for a younger audience.
Admission: Admission to the museum is free (entry fees to some events may apply). Phone 08 8999 8264 |
