Animal Grossology

We took a little trip last Saturday to check out the new exhibit at the MOSH. This was quite the interesting new exhibit, with all kinds of gross and disgusting facts about animals. And add to that a live viewing and petting of snakes and other reptiles and it was one of the grossest mornings I’ve had in a long time.

Layton wasn’t too sure about the snake,











but Dallin surprised us by actually going up there and touching the snake. Mandy wouldn’t have anything to do with it, keeping in line with her fear of all things that move.








Now let the grossology begin!














Nothing like looking at micro-slides of maggots to make the day special!

















Even Nathan got in on the fun of reconstructing the bones of amphibians.









Ever want to know all about owl feces and the dead animals they eat? Well this is the place for you!












Gotta love the slime game! Who wouldn’t want to find out which creature is the slimiest?










And this had to be my very favorite display. In this room you got to match the poo with the animal that made it. They even provided you with a way to make some poo of your very own – edible poo at that!


















And no visit to the museum is complete without a little visit to Friendship fountain. Poor little Layton tries so hard to keep up with Dallin and Mandy. One of these days he’ll be able to move as fast as they do!
