The California Academy of Sciences has a new exhibition coming up entitled “Extreme Mammals: the Biggest, Smallest, and Most Amazing Mammals of All Time”. The exhibition runs April 3 through September 12 and showcases some of our most intriguing evolutionary relatives, from the speedy to the sloth-like, the towering to the tiny, even the venomous and the armor-clad.
One towering figure in the show is “Indy”, short for Indricotherium, which is the largest land mammal ever discovered weighing in at 20 tons, or roughly the equivalent of 3 adult elephants. Since Indy arrived in the city, he (she?) has been making his way around to the various sights and in honor of that, the Academy is holding a fun Photoshop contest.
Of course I had to make sure that Indy visits some Richmond District sites; what better way for him to learn where he can venture to after the Academy closes?
If you want to contribute to Indy’s tour of San Francisco, click here to download a Photoshop file that lets you add Indy into your own images. Then post your photos on Flickr and tag them “indytourssf” and the Academy will include them in the Indy slideshow on the exhibition page.
