National Museums Week starts today and a ferocious new exhibition has opened to mark the occasion.
Discover the truth about the most dangerous creatures on Earth with Deadly! on at the Natural History Museum at Tring.
You’ll see skulls, jaws and real specimens of fearsome predators and learn about their horrible habits and ingenious methods of attack such as punching and poisoning, drowning and exploding.
Some of the deadly creatures in the exhibition include killer cats with eyesight six times better than ours, scary sharks which can smell blood in the water from kilometres away, creepy crocodiles – more than five metres long, African wild dogs with a bit harder than a wolf and speedy sea creatures that pack a powerful punch but could hide under a lion’s paw.
The exhibition is based on Deadly! by leading children’s natural history author Nicola Davies who will be at the museum today (March 24) from 4-5pm to meet fans and sign copies of the book.
The Natural History Museum at Tring, The Walter Rothschild Building, Akeman Street, Tring, until July 6, Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, Sunday 2-5pm, free entry. Details: 020 7942 6171, www.nhm.ac.uk/tring
