We’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in a big way, with one of the largest known deer: the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus)! It was originally discovered in bog deposits in Ireland. This megafauna could weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) and its antlers could reach an incredible 13-ft- (4-m-) spread. Once ranging from western Europe to China, this animal died out some 10,000 years ago. However, at least one population, living in Russia’s Ural Mountains, managed to survive until about 7,770 years ago, long after the end of the Pleistocene. 
See the Irish Elk up close in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals! We’re open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.

gf and I were lamenting the lack of exhibitions about dinosaurs that had updated accurate depictions when we happened upon This Beast. NY’s American Museum of Natural History, T. rex exhibit from 2019. We’re losing our minds over the fact it just has a head of hair and no other feathers. Thoughts?? Insight???

Better than nothing, depressingly low effort tho
esp given AMNH had the "Birds are Dinosaurs" exhibit not long before that and it was one of the best things I've ever seen

Went to the Van Cleef & Arpels emeralds exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. It’s in the diamond room in the hall of gems. Incredible pieces
