My Trip To The La Brea Tar Pits!

I am going to write about the La Brea Tar Pits I visited with my cousins in Hollywood.

The La Brea Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pits.

The La Brea Page Museum

 

imgresI learned that for millions of years the area that was to become Los Angeles and Rancho La Brea lay beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. I heard a story I will try my best to explain.

There is a horse that got stuck in tar. It calls for help. A Saber-Tooth Tiger nearby hears the call. The horse being stuck in the tar makes an easy prey. The predator strikes and eats the horse getting stuck too. Some Dire Wolves smell the meat and fight with the Saber-Tooth Tiger over the meal. Also getting stuck, the wolves kill the the Saber-Toothed Tiger. The wolves finish the prey and try to get out. They are stuck. After some time, the Dire Wolves die. Some birds eat the rotting prey. They get stuck in the tar. They fossils were found in Pit 91. The 91st tar pit found. The people are still digging in there still today. I checked.

Thanks For Reading!
