Natural History of BC

by Royal BC Museum (Canada)

BC is vast, and the diversity of plants and animals that live in this part of the world is equally vast. This 30 minute tour of the natural history gallery at the Royal BC Museum will travel back in time to meet woolly mammoths and leap forward to examine how our landscapes will shift as a result of a changing climate. But mostly we’ll look at the weird and wild things living within our oceans, forests and even backyards.
