 The replica skeleton of a Palaeoloxodon antiquus in the Sunlight Corridor, along with its authentic fossil used for the model and rare fossils from the collection—normally kept in storage—are being unveiled to the public for the first time in their original form. This is a visual feast of elephant fossils, allowing us to witness the rise and decline of the “elephant group” through the course of evolution, to experience the wealth of knowledge and evolutionary mysteries they bring, and to understand that the “elephant group” needs more of our attention and protection.
