LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Jan. 7, 2008) – Before dinosaurs roamed the earth, sharks were predators of the water. Discover some of the earth’s most dangerous creatures at Predators, Feb. 2 – April 27 at the Museum of Discovery.

Interactive displays show hidden animals through a “shark’s eyes” and lets visitors prowl dark ocean waters looking for the next meal. Learn about the major groups of predators and how and why they go after their prey.

Find out why animal predators frighten humans as Predators explores the popular culture surrounding the subject.
