Discuss science topics in a brewery. In August, Science Cafe Cleveland presents “The Most Incredible Animal Park You Have Never Seen: A Trip To Prehistoric South America.” Whoa.
Info: “If you could travel to Argentina 16 million years ago, you might have seen a tropical savanna with a variety of strange mammals like a miniature horse a mere 3 feet tall and giant tortoises with armoured tails. Unfortunately, this and other fantastic animal parks of the past now exist only in the minds of paleontologists and others interested in ancient life.
“At this month’s Science Café Cleveland, we will visit some ancient game parks, focusing on the strange mammals that once roamed South America. Our guide will be Dr. Darin Croft, a paleontologist and mammal specialist from Case Western Reserve University. We will discuss the extreme variety of living mammals, finding and collecting the fossilized bones of extinct mammals, and using information from living mammals to understand the lifestyles of extinct ones.”
