The traveling exhibit/permanent exhibit will be divided into sections explaining and tackling all these species and not featuring them and describing them in both chronological and family tree (Saurischians, the lizard-hipped dinosaurs and Ornithischians, the bird-hipped dinosaurs as well as Coelurosaurs, Allosauridae, Theropods, Sauropods, Ceratopsians, Pachycephalosaurs, Hadrosaurs, Anklyosaurs and more.) order. In two halls, The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs (Theropods and Sauropods) and The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs (Ceratopsians, Anklyosaurs, hadrosaurs, ornithopods, stegosaurs and relatives and pachycephalosaurs) The traveling exhibit will be curated by Mark Norell, Danny Barta, Mike Novacek and me if I become a paleontologist or naturalist working at a natural history museum like the AMNH someday.
The Primate Family Tree: The Amazing Diveristy of Our Closet Relatives: A traveling exhibit or permanent exhibit featured in the third floor of the AMNH close to The Hall of Primates based on the 2008 nature book with the same name by Ian Redmond featuring the taxidermies and specimens, naturalist Art by the naturalists and primatologists who studied them including Patrica Wright, and dioramas of primates ranging from prosimians like the nocturnal lorises, like slow lorises, bushbabies, galagos, tarsiers and pottos from the tropical rainforests, savannas and woodlands of Continental Africa and Asia and diurnal and nocturnal lemurs from Madagascar like the ring-tailed lemurs, Verreaux’s sifaka lemurs, collared brown lemurs, common brown lemurs, brown and Pygmy mouse lemurs and fat-tailed dwarf lemurs from Madagascar’s spiny forests, red and black and white ruffed lemurs, golden, greater and eastern lesser bamboo lemurs, Lac Alaotra bamboo lemurs, brown and Pygmy mouse lemurs, aye-ayes, red-fronted lemurs, dwarf lemurs, fork-marked lemurs, indris, silky and diademed sifaka lemurs, bamboo lemurs and red-bellied lemurs from the tropical rainforests of Madagascar, Coquerel’s sifaka lemurs, crowned and golden-crowned sifaka lemurs, Decken’s sifaka lemurs, crowned lemurs, sportive lemurs, mouse lemurs, fat-tailed dwarf lemurs, mongoose lemurs, common brown lemurs and blue-eyed black lemurs from the dry forests of Madagascar, and new world monkeys from the tropical rainforests of Central America and South America like the Amazon rainforest and Atlantic Forest and Yucatán tropical rainforests including spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, emperor tamarins, capuchin monkeys, white-faced saki monkeys, woolly monkeys, red-faced ukari monkeys, night monkeys, common marmosets, golden Lion tamarins, cotton-top tamarins and Titi monkeys as well as old world monkeys from the tropical rainforests, deserts, savannas, mountains and woodlands of Continental Africa and Asia including mandrills, baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, mona monkeys, De Brazza’s monkeys and velvet monkeys from the Congo Rainforest, olive baboons and Geldas from the African Savanna, langur monkeys, gibbons and lion-tailed macaques from India, golden snub-nosed monkeys and macaques from China and the Himalayas, and Proboscis monkeys, silver leaf monkeys and pig-tailed snub nosed monkeys from the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, and lastly the gibbons a.k.a. lesser apes like the white-checked gibbons and siamangs from the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumarta as well as great apes like the orangutans of the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra and mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos from the Congo rainforest. It also features borrowed in enclosures and exhibits from zoos and other research facilities like the Duke Lemur Center, Madagascar Sava Conservation Center, Maronij National Park, the San Diego Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Los Angeles Zoo, Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo and Prospect Park Zoo all the primates from those zoos and primate species just mentioned in this list as well as information on the traits, diets, evolutionary histories, lifespans, homelands, predators, biodiversity, natural selections, natural history, lifestyles, breeding and behaviors of all these primate species including ring-tailed lemurs and the stink fights that the males do to find mates, and the scent glands they also use to mark their territories, and red and black and white ruffed lemurs also have scent glands, the tooth combs like lemurs like ring-tailed lemurs, ruffed lemurs and sifaka lemurs and bamboo lemurs have to groom each other’s fur, the incredible jumping and dancing skills that sifaka lemurs, sportive lemurs and indris have, the siren calls that indris, howler monkeys and siamangs have to communicate with other members of their species, the climbing skills and prehensile tails of spider monkeys, woolly monkeys, squirrel monkeys, marmosets and tamarins, as well as gibbons and siamangs, the niches of woodpeckers that aye-ayes filled in and how they find beetle grubs inside tree branches to eat and feed on, how mouse lemurs and ruffed lemurs can do pollination, how mouse lemurs and tarsiers can catch insects to eat during the night, how macaques and golden snub nosed monkeys can thrive in frozen environments, and how proboscis monkeys are such good swimmers living in the mangroves and close to the rivers in Borneo and how the males can use their big noses for alarm calls, how slow lorises have Posionous bites, how bamboo lemurs, indris, sifaka lemurs, ruffed lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs, sportive lemurs and proboscis monkeys and orangutans can digest leaves and how chimpanzees (To cure and stop stomach parasites.) and orangutans (To heal sore and strained or sprained muscles.) can make medicine using leaves and how female lemurs are in charge of lemur troops and most of all what makes lemurs, new world monkeys and other primates so cute via their fur and appearances including the muzzle like appearances for lemurs something monkeys and apes don’t have. It lastly explains what modern humans have in common with orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos in terms of both DNA and traits. They are all displayed in three halls, The Hall of Prosimians (Lemurs, Bushbabies, Galagos, Lorises, Tarsiers and Pottos), The Hall of Monkeys (New World Monkeys and Old World Monkeys) and the Hall of Apes (Gibbons and Great Apes).
This is absolutely amazing. AMNH is my favorite place in NYC, and I always wanted to see what went on behind the scenes. Looking forward to the next episode.
I am impressed that museums try to show themselves to the public by a UA-cam channel. It is a great idea, and your subscribers amount tells me you are doing a pretty good job at it. Keep up the good work! Greeting from Peru, where I hope that, one day, we might be able to wake up the same level of interest for our culture.
My mom and I collected shells and beach glass from North Carolina, Rockport, and Florida. I also like to collect books especially The World of Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Gems and Crystals and Innumerable Insects.
What I would give to have unlimited access to ALL of their storage area! I don't care if it was supervised. I've wanted to explore their storage areas ever since I read Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
I already want this to be a two-hour long documentary.

I'm very excited about this series. Whoever thought of this deserves a raise and a new assistant: me.
This is absolutely amazing. AMNH is my favorite place in NYC, and I always wanted to see what went on behind the scenes. Looking forward to the next episode.
I am impressed that museums try to show themselves to the public by a UA-cam channel. It is a great idea, and your subscribers amount tells me you are doing a pretty good job at it.
Keep up the good work! Greeting from Peru, where I hope that, one day, we might be able to wake up the same level of interest for our culture.
Shelf life is a great series!
Love this new series from *****. Take a behind the scenes peek at their amazing collection(s).
I like this stuff, including paleontology, anthropology and geology.
My mom and I collected shells and beach glass from North Carolina, Rockport, and Florida. I also like to collect books especially The World of Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Gems and Crystals and Innumerable Insects.
Well... I'm super excited!
What I would give to have unlimited access to ALL of their storage area! I don't care if it was supervised. I've wanted to explore their storage areas ever since I read Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
You might want to lower the background music or raise the voices
Lllll lo

Need’s a documentary
