Something big has found a home @NMNH! Starting TOMORROW (5/24), a giant—and very toothy—C. megalodon shark will welcome visitors to our fully renovated cafes. The shark once prowled the ancient sea that covered the Chesapeake Bay area and now you can experience it in person!

You'll discover "Habitat" exhibitions all around the National Mall beginning today. The main message? Protecting habitats protects life. In our coral reef-inspired installation, spot succulents, red spaghetti stone, and clay fish crafted by a @SIGardens horticulturalist.

“Rather than making us comfortable with human-caused global change, the exhibit lays bare the hardship of living through times of rapid change.” - Scott Wing, Curator of Paleobotany and #DeepTime @NMNH

Snails have teeth, a bunch of them! These SEM images reveal those of a freshwater snail. Mollusk teeth exist as a tongue-like structure called a radula. Radular teeth scrape and ingest food and get replaced, similar to shark teeth.
