Join comparative biologist Allison Bronson, a graduate of the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School, for a family-friendly close encounter with ancient sharks, including megalodon. You'll learn about present-day sharks’ ancestors, their senses and behavior, and how scientists use fossils to study some of these giant ancient predators and the places the use to inhabit.
