We visited the Water:H2O=Life exhibition at Singapore Science Center today. From the brochure, we get to know that this exhibition originated from the American Museum of Natural History. We are very fortunate to have a nice and pleasant teenage girl to be our exhibition guide. It certainly makes a difference for us as we know and understand more.

The exhibition covers a few items. One item is a showcase of species living in the iciest and wettest places in the world, and how climate change has affected these species. One species is the polar bears with thick fur to warm themselves. Another one is the emperor penguins. We were told that the specimen were real penguins being preserved. We also learned an interesting fact that camels do not store their water on the humps. The humps of the camels are actually heap of fats. The teenage guide told us the water is actually stored in their spongy jaws. But when ask Yahoo, it claims that water is actually stored in the stomach. Hmm…??

One interesting exhibit is the display of a lake which shows life above water and under water. It shows the life beneath the lake can be quite different from the above. Was impressed by how the exhibit was done up.
