| New exhibit at Discovery Place |
 |
| Dung beetles keeping things clean |
Get ready to get totally grossed out at Discovery Place in Charlotte. It seems pretty much all children from the ages of 4 to 14 love the subject of barf, slime and other gross stuff. So between June and September 2, 2013 Discovery Place has it all.

| Different animal smells |
Animal Grossology engages kids in real life science topics presented in a fun exhibition that oozes with icky science.

| Getting rid of hairballs |
At first we thought “what is this?” But as we toured the exhibit we realized how much we did not know about animals poop and vomit and how the insides of all of us work. Actually by the end of the tour we were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. A must see for everyone.

| And the toothless owl |
Logan Stewart, our lovely hostess and Manager of Marketing and Public Relations at Discovery Place, shared her experience of jogging in Dilworth early one morning and having an owl swoop down and try to grab her pony tail thinking it was breakfast. This happened on two occasions. It seems the owl has no teeth and swallows its food whole, small rodents etc., then what it doesn’t digest spits out in large pellets. The Grossology exhibit has several on display so you can see feathers bone and claws. Logan said it was quite frightening and she was sure the owl thought her pony tail was something good to eat.
