I vividly remember going on a school field trip to this museum in elementary school (with my little packed lunch from home; soda wrapped in layers of foil in the hope in would stay cold lol). I also got to see the full King Tut exhibit in 5th grade (and that blew my mind; I've been interested in Ancient Egypt ever since). It's such a shame that schools just can't afford to provide kids with those kinds of exposures anymore. We went on a LOT of field trips back then, but those are the two that really stuck out to me.

I'm surprised that they would roam that close, with all that traffic around!!😊

This video has too much talk and not enough show of the skeletons and reconstructed bodies of now extinct animals. The entire area of the La Brea Tar Pits is surrounded by other museums...LACMA, LA County Museum of Art, the Academy of Motion Pictures museum in the old May Company building, and the Peterson Auto Museum across Wilshire Blvd. Oh, and if hungry, stop at Pinks Hot Dog stand just up the street a ways. Hmm, not bad for a person that lives in small-town Kentucky.

Just a wee niggle. If we are going to call the period between the previous (Eemian) inter glacial period, some 125,000 years ago and the present (Holocene) inter glacial an ice age then we need a new term for the past 2.75m years in which there have been somewhere between 30 and 50 cycles of glaciation and inter glaciation. The terms matter because we have arguments amongst even some pretty prominent scientists that the demise of the mega fauna of the Americas was due to the end of the 'ice age' In fact, the mega fauna survived, thank you kindly, many many cycles of glacial inter glacial fluctuation. The only difference this time was the introduction of a new species into the Americans (us).

@@AlCatrraz : Sorry, maybe a bad joke on my part. Take a bunch of non-Spanish speaking individuals and have them name a place with a name that is already in Spanish and there’s always the chance the final name is redundant. “El Camino” means “the path”, yes? So El Camino Road is literally The Path Road. It’s more fun if El Camino is “the road”, then it would be the road road. Sorry. I live in LA county and there are examples of this everywhere.
