Eaten Alive Exhibition
ON SHOW NOW UNTIL 31 JANUARY, 2010
Everyone is fascinated by predators – from the thrill of the chase to the triumphant moment of capture.
Developed by Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra, Eaten Alive – The World of Predators is an exciting and highly interactive exhibition that draws on recent research from scientists around the world.
The exhibition is full of hands on activities for children. From well known carnivores such as sharks, lions and crocodiles through to predatory insects, it explores fearsome jaws and claws as well as some of the more subtle techniques used by predators to survive.
Visitors will be in awe (if not a little scared!) by the large robotic crocodile, funnel web spider and death adder snake that seem to sense your presence and respond accordingly. Don’t get too close or you maybe ‘eaten alive’!
