There is a reason why they became extinct.
The popular illustrated book series "They Went Extinct for a Reason" is now available as a large-scale exhibition!
The best-selling series "Were Extinct for a Reason" has sold over 960,000 copies.
A hugely popular illustrated book that features creatures that became extinct for surprising reasons, and then explain the reasons for their extinction!
An exhibition that allows you to learn the reasons why these creatures became extinct has arrived in Shikoku for the first time!
Too kind and gone extinct?! Too decorated and gone extinct?! Surely that's the reason why these creatures have vanished from the Earth?
Extinction seems like a terrible thing, but after every major extinction, some species undergo a major evolutionary change.
By unraveling the history of extinct species, we may find clues to reducing new extinctions.
The exhibits, which include large specimens, robots, and interactive attractions, are sure to impress!
An exhibition will be held at Niihama City Museum of Art where both children and adults can learn about the reasons for their extinction.
So, let's go to "Wakezetsu Niihama" this summer!
