La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

 


The La Brea Tar Pits is an active research site in Los Angeles. Tar has seeped up from the ground for tens of thousands of years. Over many thousands of years the tar has persevered the bones of the trapped animals. The museum is dedicated to studying and researching the animals that have been found there:

The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum are very cool and important place to research the past.
