La Brea Tar Pits and Ice Age L.A. with Aisling Farrell

Learn about Ice Age mammals and the creatures that roamed L.A. thousands of years before our city was built.

The NHM Curiosity Show continues exploring science in Los Angeles. This month, we visit the La Brea Tar Pits to learn about Ice Age mammals and the creatures that roamed L.A. thousands of years before our city was built. We'll explore how the fossils are excavated, and see the vast holdings of the Tar Pits, from huge mammoths to saber-toothed kittens.
