Our Last Stop on the Mainland

Yikes---that Wooly Mammoth is a little too close!!
Luckily, Mom's here to protect me.
I'm at the Page Museum in Los Angeles, California. This is the site of the La Brea Tar Pits. There is a tar pond outside of the building with a big cyclone fence around it. On top of the tar, in some spots, there are water slicks. For thousands of years, tar has come up through cracks in the Earth's crust and filled the pond. When it rains, the water pools on top of the tar. Long ago, prehistoric animals would come to the "watering hole" for a drink. Then, uh oh, they would slip down into the tar and become trapped in it.
There are more fossils here than in any other place in the world!!
Google: "La Brea Tar Pits" and find out more!
