I remember walking in, back in 1978, and laying eyes on the awesome bull elephant. Massive, magnificent and majestic. Then there was a beautiful Bengal tiger of unbelievable size, a “man eater.” Lastly, there was a mesmerizing display of insects with carapace that made precious stones pale in comparison. A great museum.
Great tour! Only thing for future videos is quickly show the description so we can see if it's a real specimen or a cast. For me, makes all the difference, particularly for dino fossils being able to see the actual fossils of a 65 million year old animal is amazing. Most museum fossils are casts, which for me doesn't do as much, but awe inspiring seeing the real ones.
Im from south africa, where quite a few of our human ancestors were discovered, and it is my dream to work in this museum. So beautiful and interesting. great video !!
(Hippos DO bite and can wield a fatal chomp! Plus they run much faster than you'd expect.) Fantastic (albeit way too short) tour of the Smithsonian Nat History! The Hope Diamond was breathtaking... Thank you so much! 👍
Great museum! My 10 years old cousin visited us years ago. He spent three days there! We went to other museums around there but he liked the Natural History the most.
I love dinosaurs too. I am w wildlife enthusist. I actully volunteered there and a help put together a plaster cast of a giant whale jaw. I also spent a day at the Canadian Musuam of Nature Reasech Facility uncovering mostly plant imprints. however i did isolite a an herbivore tooth - so you know when paleontologists dig up/ excavate the chunks of rock in the feild and then send them back to the lab...well i was in the lab and I helpd break up the rock to isolate fossils. I was really fun!!! i enjoyed it!!!
The Smithsonian is a fun place for kids and adults alike! If you're looking for an indoor activity to escape the hot summers or cold winters, all while keeping your kiddos entertained for longer than an hour, this is definitely a great choice! Not only do they have thousands of cool exhibits, animals, etc. they also have a butterfly pavilion, which is essentially a room filled with live butterflies flying everywhere. Little girls love this! They also have an insect zoo where kids can interact with various different insects, hold hissing cockroaches, and even watch a real time tarantula feeding demo. Aside from all of the cool animals exhibits, they also have exhibits on ancient Egypt, Africa, indigenous American tribes, cave men, etc. kiddos can see real mummies from ancient egypt, ancient weapons and tools from indigenous American tribes, artifacts from Africa and so, so much more! The Smithsonian also has a lot of temporary exhibits, so every time you go, there is *always* something new to see and explore. Temp exhibits are changed frequently to keep visitors engaged and coming back. You can check the Smithsonian's website to see which temp exhibits are available or coming up next!
Yes, its interesting. I was there many years ago and remember the HUUUGE skeleton of a Mammoth and those many Skulls of wolves. But there are no Dinosaur bec the tar pits are not old enough for them.
I was a page in the capital when I was 14 going on 15, and I spent the whole summer in DC. I loved the Smithsonian. I spent a lot of time there. I remember a giant octopus on display. It was a dead speciman in the largest cooler I had ever seen. This cooler had to be at least 25ft long. Im 55 now and would love to tour it again. Sadly, I dont have anyone in my life that would find it as interesting as I do. Thank you!
DC is…not a great vacation city, but the National Mall and museums area great place to spend a couple days. Truly world class museums and if I remember from a kid, they were free. And many different museum themes….dinosaurs, space, gems, science, American history, art, a bug zoo, etc. all next to each other. 😅
The National Zoo used to have a Hippo named Happy (he's currently living at the Milwaukee Zoo). IIRC the stuffed hippo at the museum is Happy's late dad.
Diplodocus was among the best-known sauropods. It was the longest dinosaur known from a near-complete skeleton. It measured 80 to 90 feet long, stood 16 feet tall from head to toe, and weighed 16 to 20 tons.
It also had narrow, pointed keratinous spines, which measured 18 centimeters long, on the "whiplash" portion of their tails, and possibly along the back and neck as well. In fact, it could whip its tail at a speed of up to 1,224 km/h.
Ankylosaurus was the largest and best known of the armored dinosaurs. It measured 19.8 to 35 feet long, 4.9 feet wide, stood 4.6 to 5.6 feet tall at the hip, and weighed 5 to 8.8 tons. This makes it as long as a large reticulated python, as tall as a wattled crane, and as heavy as an african elephant. It could whip its tail club with 1,079 pounds of force. It lived 68 million years ago in western North America. It was discovered in 1906 and named by Barnum Brown in 1908. Its name means “Fused Lizard”.
oh and when I was 7 years old the I was taking a tour of the fossil gallery at the main museum and i actually corrected two mislabeled dinosaurs - it was the Centrosaurus and Styracosaurus. I have been going there twice a year since...but a kinda stopped after when covid started - i think my last visit was 2020.
Let me help you out. Regarding your remark to "bring back the wooly mammoth, bring back the dinosaurs, bring back all of it" . The reason they have discussed cloning the wooly mammoth is because first off they have viable DNA due to their remains being trapped and frozen in permafrost as recently as 10,000 yrs ago so there are tissue and even blood samples available in conjunction with the fact that their is a relatively close analogue still alive today in the form of elephants. Even with that they would not be bringing the wooly mammoth back, but a pretty close copy. Part mammoth and part elephant. Regarding dinosaurs, they went extinct far to long ago for their to be any DNA available and there's not really a close analogue of most dinosaurs available. So even if they had DNA the best they could probably do would be a small dino-chicken
Man, if I ever run across a “Dino-chicken, I wouldn’t eat it. No, sir! I’d make it my pet. I’d give it a litter box and some fluffy play toys, fun things like that. I suppose I’d have to go on Amazon and get a shock collar to keep it in the yard. If it got to close to the property line, I’d give it a quick warning “Buzz”. Of it kept going, zzZZAAPP!
Glyptodon was a large armoured mammal, related to the present-day armadillo. It is one of, if not the, best known genus of glyptodont. It was roughly the same size and weight as a Volkswagen Beetle car, though flatter in shape. It measured 11 feet long, 4.9 feet tall, and weighed 4,400 to 4,460 pounds. It lived 2.5 million years ago and went extinct about 11,000 years ago.
Even though the 10 feet tall terror bird are extinct, we have our own mini terror birds in the Seriamas of South Ameruica. It measures 80 to 100 centimeters long, stands about 60 centimeters tall, and has a wingspan of 3.9 to 4.8 feet. Males weigh 6.8 pounds and females weigh 3.9 pounds.
the giant armadillo is the largest armadillo in the world reaching 4 to 5 feet long and weighing up to 72 pounds. However there was a wild specimen that weighed in at 119 pounds and captive specimens have been weighe up to 180 pounds. Giant armadillos are found throughout much of northern South America east of the Andes, except for eastern Brazil and Paraguay. Also they have 80 to 100 teeth. They have extremely long front claws with the third one reaching 22 centimeters.
yes the Japanese spider crab is the biggest marine crab and arthropod in the world. its giant legs span over 12 feet. The body may grow to 40 centimeterts (16 inches) in carapace width and the whole crab can weigh up to 19 kg (42 pounds)
Stegosaurus was the largest stegosaur as well as the most dangerous armored herbivore. It measured 26 to 30 feet long, stood 9 feet tall at the hips, and weighed 6 to 7.5 tons. It had a total height of 14 feet. Its giant plates can measure 2.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Different species of Stegosaurus had different numbers of tail spikes with S. ungulatis having 8 spikes and S. stenops having 4 spikes. Its tail spikes could reach 3 to 4 feet long. Its tail was held about 6.5 feet above the ground. It could travel at a speed of 15 to 18 km/h and whip its spiked tail in a sideways direction at a speed of 131 feet per second (144 km/h). It lived about 155 million years ago in what is now western North America, western Europe, southern India, China, and southern Africa. Its brain was as small as a walnut, weighing about 70 to 80 grams. The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, USA, in 1876 by M. P. Felch and was named by Othniel C. Marsh in 1877. Its name means “Roofed Lizard”
The North Atlantic right whale is one of 3 species of right whales; the other two being the North Pacific right whale and the Southern right whale. North Atlantic right whale averages 13-16 m (43-52 feet) long and weighs 100 tons. They have extremely thick bodies with a girth as much as 60% of total body length in some cases. An unusually large 40% of their body weight is blubber
speaking of long necked dinos - you know how most people were told that the blue whale was the largest creature that has ever lived (even bigger the the dinosaurs) - actually thats not entirely true. It is definitely the heaviest weighing over 200 tons, it was definitely not the longest. In fact several long-necks were much longer. We have Supersaurus - 134 feet long; Seismosaurus at 120 feet,, the most famous is Argentinosaurus which measured 130 feet long and weighed 100 tons. and several more that were over 140 feet. However the longest of them all was called Bruhathkayosaurus which measured 150 feet long and weighed 130 tons
The sun bear is real. It is named for its characteristic orange- to cream-coloured, crescent-like chest patch. It is can be found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is the smallest species of bear reaching 3.3 to 4.5 feet long, 70 centimeters tall at the shoulder, and weighing 55 to 143 pounds,
Technically of a hippopotamus gets you in its mouth you're done. And they do bite and they do do some serious damage. They use their teeth those large tests that we got and they will puncture through your body. They will charge after you if you come across them and you don't get out of their water quick enough they're going to run after you in the water. They're fast on the water they're pretty fast on land. But on land the speed is a little bit not as fast as it would be there in the water.
You do realize that Sonic the hedgehog is actually a hedgehog and not an echidna. An echidna is not related to hedgehogs. They're actually in the same family group that the platypus is in. It is a mammal that lays eggs in lactate. It doesn't technically have nipples but it does lactaid. It may resemble the looks of a hedgehog but it is far from a hedgehog. The echidna does share a food interest with anteaters. It is technically an anteater it is a species of anteater I do believe. It does eat ants and termites and small worms. But it is in no shape or form a hedgehog. And hedgehogs in a kidneys like I said they do look alike but they're not the same creature. Kidding is to get bigger than hedgehogs. And they really don't roll up in a ball like a hedgehog does. They tend to borrow them and bury their underbelly into the dirt to protect themselves and they use a little prickly bits to deter something that was trying to eat it
I appreciate your enthusiasm and information and great camera work, Ray. However, I have to point out some errors in your information. You say the sun bears are not real but are people in costumes. Woah, they are absolutely real animals. I have seen them myself in zoos; their anatomy and behavior enable them to mimic people. I don't know why those tourists would think them not real. And why would a natural history museum display animals that are fake? Also, the marine animal you identify as a mosasaur in the cetacean exhibit is actually an ancient whale, known as Basilosaurus, or Zeuglodon. Originally paleontologists thought it was a reptile, hence they gave it a "-saur" name. It dates back only, I believe, to the Eocene. Then in the walrus exhibit, you identify one of the skeletons as a primitive walrus, the one with the extraordinarily long tusk. I believe that is actually an early tusked whale, which may have had a lifestyle similar to the walruses, which came later. There are some other errors but this post is long enough so I will get back to you in a subsequent post.
1:27 one of the times I went there I saw this 🗿 and I didn’t know if it was real 1.5 fortnights ago I revisited the question and I thought there’s only the head they have bodies. It must not be real. But now I see it now I realise do have bodies

Cool vlog Ray! The Smithsonian was always a great Museum. Plus don't get locked in there over night, I heard weird things happen in there. lol
So I've heard...
Thank You I truly enjoyed the tour.
Ray!!!! In DC! Love it! 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Great place, DC has awesome museums
it really does!
Great video and Smithsonion museum is very beautiful
It really is!
I went there a few years ago and learned so much. Enjoyed the revisit with you.
This was so much fun . Thank you
(Hippos DO bite and can wield a fatal chomp! Plus they run much faster than you'd expect.) Fantastic (albeit way too short) tour of the Smithsonian Nat History! The Hope Diamond was breathtaking... Thank you so much! 👍
yes they can attain a speed of over 30 kph (18.75 mph) and can have bite force of 1820 pounds per square inch. They actually kill 500 people per year.
Thank you so much for your video! So very interesting!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'd like to go in the basement and go thru all the real good finds ......
Great museum! My 10 years old cousin visited us years ago. He spent three days there! We went to other museums around there but he liked the Natural History the most.
Anyone who says hes not funny and entertaining is lying 😭 I had so much fun watching this and it was just a great video overall! Good job!
I will probably never get to go there, so I really appreciate the tour. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never say never

Have you been out to the La Brea Tar Pits out in Los Angeles? They have a museum with all the fossils that have been excavated from there!
I would love to see that! I'm on the East Coast and I haven't made it to California yet
Yes, its interesting. I was there many years ago and remember the HUUUGE skeleton of a Mammoth and those many Skulls of wolves. But there are no Dinosaur bec the tar pits are not old enough for them.

wonderful, always wanted to see it but cant travel, thanks a million!
Loved this video and loved the commentary. Your enthusiasm is very impressive.
Thank you so much. I loved everything. I just cant pick a favorite thing as all so interesting
Glad you enjoyed!
Great museum, I enjoy going here. I loved seeing the Hope Diamond in person. Thanks for the video!

Let me help you out. Regarding your remark to "bring back the wooly mammoth, bring back the dinosaurs, bring back all of it" . The reason they have discussed cloning the wooly mammoth is because first off they have viable DNA due to their remains being trapped and frozen in permafrost as recently as 10,000 yrs ago so there are tissue and even blood samples available in conjunction with the fact that their is a relatively close analogue still alive today in the form of elephants.
