Yesterday Adam, Mason, & I spent a couple of hours at the Museum of York County, checking out the new exhibit hall – Ice Age Carolinas. It was so beautiful and well done and interesting. Way too much information for me to process in one visit – I can’t wait to go back. Here are a couple of pictures.
One of the displays of extinct animals, including the terror bird. I had never heard of it, but Adam said they are in one of the video games he plays. As it turns out, the lady who was working in the exhibit was Addie’s art teacher in college, and she told us all about the bird – that his head and neck could only move straight up and down – it couldn’t turn his head to the left or right. He would grab his prey in its claw and pound it on the ground to kill or at least stun in, and then would tear it to bits with its beak before it ate it. How about that?
