Good call! One impressive thing in the adjoining George C Page museum is the wall of dire wolf skulls. The link speaks to how long they’ve been around and new evidence that they split from gray wolves millions of years earlier than previously thought. The exhibit gives you a sense that every other large animal trapped in the tar became a draw for dire wolves which may have lost entire packs. It might be more accurate to have those mammoths being attacked and some dire wolves stuck in the tar.
They have recovered at least the 400 skulls and 3600 individuals. It’s kind of overwhelming.
Today’s a good day to go. We expect that cloud-river-hose of rain for the next three days though. So if you have a roof that was leaking, today you should make like La Brea and tarp it.
