Arrivals at the Los Angeles Zoo in the last year include a range of babies born to Zoo residents as well as a new breeding group of four endangered Grevy’s zebras; two-endangered male Tasmanian devils, the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial; and rare male and female perenties, Australia’s largest monitor lizard, with spectacular colors and patterns covering their snake-like, elongated bodies. Visitors to the L.A. Zoo, which is one of only four zoos in the United States to house Tasmanian devils and one of only two with perenties, can enjoy a variety of daily opportunities to learn more about animals, including close-up encounters, special feedings and talks, all free with admission.
The new Vanishing Animals gallery and Horses and Dragons exhibits are now open at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Coinciding with this opening, the Aquarium transformed its changing exhibits gallery to focus on animal extinctions and how humans can take actions now to prevent the magnitude of extinctions on land from happening in the ocean. The Vanishing Animals exhibition, also open through March 31, 2017, features about one dozen aquatic and terrestrial animal species and multimedia and interactive displays, including a new film in the Ocean Science Center.

Combo Ticket Add-Ons
Those who purchase the combo ticket can upgrade their experience at the zoo, museum, and aquarium. For $5, visitors to the Zoo can gain access to the new Dinosaurs Unextinct at the L.A. Zoo exhibition through October 31, 2016. At NHM, combo ticket holders can purchase entry to the new Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs exhibit, $10 for adults, $5 for children. The Aquarium is enhancing its Guest Speaker Series by adding talks with experts on animals and topics featured in its new exhibitions about animal extinctions and seahorses and seadragons. Lectures are $5 per person per lecture and free for students, teachers, and seniors (ages 62+) with advance reservations and valid photo I.D.
PTEROSAURS: FLIGHT IN THE AGE OF DINOSAURS opens at NHM on July 3 and runs through October 2, 2016. This interactive traveling exhibition showcases these prehistoric reptiles that ruled the skies during the time that dinosaurs walked the land. It features the latest research of museum scientists and leading paleontologists, extremely rare pterosaur fossils, and displays about discoveries in Italy, Germany, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, as well as life-size models, videos, and interactive exhibits to immerse visitors in the mechanics of pterosaur flight. Several interactive exhibits help visitors see the world from a pterosaur’s-eye view. In “Fly Like a Pterosaur,” visitors can “pilot” two species of flying pterosaurs over prehistoric landscapes complete with forest, sea, and volcano in a whole-body interactive exhibit that uses motion-sensing technology. The exhibition is organized by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), and will underscore the vast and newly revealed variation among these ancient creatures, which ranged from the size of a sparrow to a two-seater plane, as well as how they evolved to dominate the sky millions of years ago.
DINOSAURS: UNEXTINCT AT THE L.A. ZOO, an all-new exhibit produced and presented by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association, features a pack of 17 life-size, life-like prehistoric creatures residing in a once off-limits corner of the Zoo. For a limited time only, these animatronic dinosaurs, brought to life with electronic "brains," take visitors back in time for a colossal adventure, providing a rare chance to discover a lost world from millions upon millions of years ago while warning about the very real threat of extinction faced today by many endangered species. Among the exhibit's added features is the Fossil Dig, a stegosaurus robot with controls guests can operate to make the creature move; a climbable pachyrhinosaurus; and a free downloadable augmented reality app to access special content, including 3-D views of all the dinosaurs. The experience aims to give visitors gargantuan levels of awe and plenty of “aha”s, with facts about the prehistoric era, the featured dinosaurs, and their similarities to L.A. Zoo animals.
