Explore the World of Mammals
From the familiar cottontail rabbit that you might see in your backyard to the polar bears who roam the Arctic Circle, mammals—large and small—are everywhere! In this exhibit, you’ll travel from an arctic glacier to an African waterhole…and check out who’s come for a drink along the way! Not only will you see these animals in their natural habitats, you’ll hear them, too.
Visit the Putnam where you’ll travel from your backyard to the dusty plains of Africa to the ice-covered waters of the Arctic, all in just a few steps.
