Extinct Mammals

Another busy exhibit inside the American Museum of Natural History. This was in the Hall of Primitive Mammals. I could never get a clear shot with no people in front of the display.

 

The Hall of Primitive Mammals, one of two halls in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives, traces the lower branches of the evolutionary tree of mammals, including monotremes, marsupials, sloths, and armadillos.

 

Some of the very early mammal relatives trace their roots back some 300 million years and dominated the landscape millions of years before the dinosaurs and most became extinct.
