Here are another couple of images from my recent trip to the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum. I really loved the comparison between the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and its skeleton. Cheetahs are one of the fastest land animals on earth, rapidly reaching speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour, with the ability to accelerate more quickly than most sportscars (0 to 65 mph in less than 3 seconds!).

Interesting last couple of posts. My son from SF was just in Burbank over Thanksgiving to spend the holiday with my daughter and their mom and they went to the museum and they have been telling me how much they enjoyed it. They were a little disappointed that the dinosaur hall wasn’t ready yet, but overall they were very impressed with the place.
Thanks, PJ. While LA is a bit daunting to me in terms of traffic and confusing streets, it offers such a wealth of photographic subjects. I need to make a resolution to spend more time there…
