Into Utah and the Museum of Ancient Life

Ok, so we packed our bags and headed into Salt Lake City Utah. I'm having the time of my life but am getting sort of tired of sleeping in a different hotel every night. I am really glad that I don't have to work as late into the night as the rest of the crew. I don't know how they do it.

We went into the Museum of Ancient Life just outside of Salt Lake City. It is a VERY nice museum with some really cool exhibits. The picture above is that of two adult sized Tyrannosaurs that are fighting over a dead Triceratops. These two monsters tower over you. We had to bring in a crane to film them.


One of the things I really liked about the museum is there awesome displays. Here is a great display of sea life. That large squid-looking critter in the middle is an Ammonite.




This HUGE sauropod is Seisomosaurus. It was so long I could not get the whole thing in the picture. It is huge!!!!



Talk about cool! This exhibit has a woolly mammoth being hunted by some paleo-Indians. Too funny man!

See, I thought this picture of the paleo indians and the mammoth was here..LOL!

I was always a people observer, so I kind of was surprised at myself realizing that I do not know a whole lot about the these ancient people.
