The Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum hosts an amazing online program in April called Ancient Animal Absurdity (AAA). This year, ancient marine animals face off with other in ‘battles’ written by palaeontologists, including the most up-to-date science on the animals. Join the PJCDM’s curator, Dr. Emily Bamforth, as she introduces you to the competitors (including the giant Megalodon!), and talks about the science behind the tournament. Learn how you and your classrooms can follow AAA online this year to find out which fossil marine animal will reign supreme!
