Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology

Our next destination was Drumheller, Alberta, to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology.  This is a world class museum with a major focus on dinosaurs, so it is a wonderful place for children of all ages.
 


The museum has a nice collection of hypothetical reproductions.





They also have an amazing number of fully articulated skeletons on display.

Getting much closer to us in geologic time we have Mastodons ...


... and Mammoths  ...


.. and Sabre-toothed Cats.
