| Title: Eastern Tallgrass Prairie
Contact: Amelia Hansen
Description: Watercolor and colored pencil illustration of the eastern tallgrass prairie habitat (detail of a larger painting). Due to more abundant rainfall, prairies occurring in areas east of the Mississippi River are able to support more luxuriant growth and are called 'tallgrass prairies'. These prairies are characterized by grasses such as big bluestem, Indian grass, and switchgrass, along with a wide variety of forbs and flowering plants. Prior to settlement, tallgrass prairies occurred in limited parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, any place where climate and fire partnered to keep woody plants from invading. Tallgrass prairie is now extremely rare and many of the associated species are endangered or extirpated. Currently, there are quite a few tallgrass restoration projects underway in all of these states.

| Title: Thylacoleo skull
Contact: Katura Reynolds
Description: The extinct "marsupial lion" was not closely related to modern lions, though they may have filled a similar niche in Pliocene epoch of Australia. This comparison between the fossil Thylacoleo skull and the skull of a modern lion focuses on dental patterns. While the ancient marsupial carnivore used long pointed incisors for stabbing, modern lions rely on long canines. Both animals use their premolars to shear through the meat they have killed, but the marsupial used very large single teeth while the modern cat uses multiple teeth in a row.
