Build a Beast
Recreating extinct animals from fossil evidence is like completing a giant jigsaw puzzle, but without all the pieces. Try your hand at being a paleontologist — untangle our piles of bones, and build a beast.

Hide a Beast
Camouflage is fundamental to animal survival: In order to hunt effectively, predators must blend in with their habitat, creeping unnoticed as close as possible to their prey before launching an attack. And in order to evade detection by predators and thus survive, prey must also blend with their environment.

Mix and match color schemes, patterns and habitats to see how camouflage works best for one predator species and one prey species. Can you make these beasts disappear into their habitats?
