Skull exhibit sheds lighton animals' ways of life
Nearly 1,500 dead heads will be in San Francisco through late 2003, but this gathering has nothing to do with rock bands.
The California Academy of Sciences is hosting "Skulls," an exhibition of almost 1,500 specimens ranging from monkeys and giraffes to warthogs, rats, bears and dolphins.
How an animal feeds, defends itself, communicates, mates, senses and interacts with its environment can be discovered by looking at its skull.
For more information, call (415) 750-7145 or visit www.calacademy.org on the Web.
