Life is full of unexpected wonders. Over billions of years, living things have evolved from simple cells into an awe-inspiring array of life forms—a spectacle of colours, textures, behaviours, specialized parts and exacting skills. Some species are familiar. But others are so amazing that they test the limits of our imagination.
No matter how extraordinary certain plants and animals seem to us, their unusual features often address the most ordinary of tasks: To reproduce, breathe and move around. To sense the world. To find food and safety. The living things you will see respond to these basic challenges in extremely inventive ways. Join us this winter to experience Life at the Limits!
Nature’s Superheroes: Life at the Limits is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York amnh.org
