La Brea Tar Pits

Last weekend we visited the La Brea Tar Pits. What you say? The place where they go through tar to find remains of animals who may have got stuck in the tar and die because they could not get out. They have found lots of wolfs, sloths, saber tooth tigers, and mammoths to name a few. It was very fun and educational experience.example of what may have happened
