This captivating exhibition features an awesome array of over 700 prehistoric and modern animals.

From dung beetles to dinosaurs, the exhibition examines the relationship between creatures big and small, past and present, and illustrates the dramatic effect that size can have on survival.

The extraordinary ‘Animal Parade’ is the focal point of the exhibition, featuring creatures from the air, land and sea. Stare into the eye of a tiger, stand beneath a Great White Shark and admire the colourful collection of interesting insects.

The ‘Great Wall’ illustrates some of the biggest and smallest animals that have ever lived. The ‘real size’ outlines allow you to compare yourself against other monstrous and minute creatures from the animal kingdom.

This exhibition promises to entertain, inform and inspire, but on another level it will also alarm. Its aim is to advance discussion and debate in a rapidly changing global environment - one where the biggest creatures are not necessarily the best, the tiniest can in fact be the most successful, and where one species alone can destroy us all.
