A peek at the past

Visitors from a home-school group near Cameron look over a full-body taxidermy mount of an African Lion, originally from Botswana, which is part of the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History's permanent Ice Age Exhibit Tuesday afternoon. The lion display is one of the largest of its kind in North America, and is one of the few modern-day examples in the exhibit, allowing visitors to compare and contrast Ice Age creatures that once roamed the Brazos Valley.
