Crocs – Ancient Predators in a Modern World

The National Geographic Society has just issued its first press release about the opening of this new traveling museum exhibit on crocodilians, which will open later this month at the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C. Dr. Kent Vliet served as the principal scientific advisor for the development of this exhibit, produced by Peeling Productions in Pennsylvania. Dr. Vliet serves as a “digital curator”, appearing on touch screen monitors throughout the exhibition, introducing visitors to each section and contributing information about the displays. Displays include a rich mixture of informational graphics, digital video, traditional museum displays, live animals and interactive activities. Following its premier in Washington, Crocs will spend a year at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City before moving on.  Congratulations Kent! To find out more click here.
