A member of the once mighty buffalo herds which provided food, clothing, and shelter to the plains Indian tribes |
Are we looking at the longhorn, or is he looking at us? |
 |
|
|
This magnificent longhorn is a descendent of a sturdy breed perfectly suited to the hard times of early Texas. |
Buffalos, otters, and skunks -- oh my! (and beaver, too!) |

This section of the exhibit presented African dress and customs. First thing the kids noticed: no backpacks needed. Just use your head. |
The African tribesman then showed the children how to build a fire. (Don't try this at home!) |
 |
 |
|
The tribesmen also entertained the enthusiastic guests with African folksongs. |
Yipes! Stripes! This camouflaged equine carefully studied all the children. |
