Predators
With a focus on nature's evolutionary arms race, this blockbuster exhibition explores the dynamic between predator and prey through amazing animatronic models, interactive displays and real specimens.
For prey, each encounter is life or death, but for predators, only a single meal is at stake.
A shark animatronic model
The prey versus predator dynamic in the animal kingdom is not always the unequal combat we might think it to be. Over millions of years, predators have evolved lethal weapons and acute senses with which to find, catch and kill their prey. They sometimes seem invincible, but this exhibition encourages visitors to think again: prey can hide, escape and fight back to survive.
The exhibition is divided into three display areas:
The Senses
Tools & Weapons and
Hunting Strategy
An animatronic tarantula model
Each area features an animatronic model as a central focal point, around which real specimens are exhibited.
The exhibition also features four interactives, including a multiplayer game where visitors can use a variety of strategies to capture electronic prey.
Predators is an interactive experience
This exhibition gives visitors an idea of the relentless battle between predators and prey, with engaging educational qualities that you’d expect from a world class Natural History Museum exhibition.
