Survival of the Slowest Evolution down the path less traveled. Temporary Exhibit Image Now Open!Survival of the Slowest, the new temporary live animal exhibit at the Museum of Science, is an exploration of counterintuitive adaptations that encourages you to slow down and consider some of the advantages of being slow and some of the disadvantages of being fast.Most people know why it is good to be bigger, stronger, or faster. But evolving to be slower as a mechanism for survival? This is the opposite of what many people think would be advantageous. But many animals have evolved to slow down as part of their survival strategy. See how animals such as sloths, snakes, hedgehogs, and horned frogs exist — and thrive — thanks to their status as being slower, smaller, or weaker than other creatures in the animal kingdom. Survival of the Slowest is created by Little Ray's Exhibitions and F.A.R.E. (Little Ray's Foundation for Animal Rescue and Education), a proud member of Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA).
