My daughter study’s Teddy Roosevelt at school

I remember when i first came to this Museum on a field trip with my school in 1965 in the 4th grade it was beautiful, they did a lot of changing since then.
Customer
My first trip to the museum as a kid I remember looking at the dioramas of a bear eating a fish and I saw the guts and got sick and almost threw up. Lol
Customer
You are a city boy. I have caught and gutted fish to eat.
Customer
It’s been sixty years since I’ve been there. Call me when they change those old moldy bodies out if there. Just look at a picture . As far as human evolution and it’s success…I have another time line .
Customer
What was it like there 🙂
Customer
When I was a kid this was my favorite place in the world and as I got older I coud go here and then later walk 15 or 20 blocks uo Central Park West to The Dakota and the Strawberry Fields John Lennon Memorial.
Customer
So they killed the animal to preserve jt?
Customer
The Irony right, in the name of science, to preserve them from ourselves…
Customer
Duh!
Customer
no, its like a wax figure.
Customer
It’s a bit complex, back then zoos were limited in what they could do and maintain (breeding is hard today let alone then) stock, photography and motion picture were still complex and needed HUGE amounts of gear nearby, not too mention colour film poor.
So the only way too show them as they were was this way, it was calculated and they were careful about how it was done (they wrote BIG on it).
They admitted the irony.
Customer
I always would love to go here
Customer
It was the late 1960′[s & all through 1970’s.It made me be so thankful not to take it for granted
Customer
I remember I went with my family to new York, but I forgot what year we had gone, but we went to the natural museum, it was very neat to see all the animal’s very life like! ? it was cool! ☺?????????????
Customer
I hope it’s not weird coming here alone ???
Customer
And at night
Customer
James Rios of course it’s not weird gong alone 🙂

To be honest, I was moved to tears of gratitude for our dear Theodore Roosevelt. They’re very right had he not protected these immensely glorious wild areas, all that beauty would have been transformed into vast, ugly, grey, soul-eating, concrete jungles of modernity. Enormous wastelands of industry and broken people.
Thank you so much for posting this Treasure of New York video I really appreciate it and God bless you for sharing this experience with me.
Customer
I finally was able to visit this amazing space in 2013 and could have spent a week there ✨ amazing

“I don’t think science really knows.”
Donald J. Trump, POTUS 2020, amidst a pandemics.
Customer
You’ll never see it all in a day, you can start when they open the doors, and sill won’t complete your tour by closing time. It’s the best museum I’ve ever been into in my life.
Customer
Took me nearly a week of of visits many hours long and I was still getting lost!
Customer
The big claws all the better to eat you with my dear if you are so close to a living bear that you can see the claws you had better run!

Customer
J.j. Astor made his millions selling animal furs!
Customer
Yeah snakes good luck let us know how that works for ya
Customer
Liar liar pants on fire ????
Customer
Snakes alive….
Customer
How was your internship?
Customer
When does exploitation become conservation ?
Customer
When resources become scarce and flora/fauna endangered.
Until recent times, many natural resources were considered inextinguishable. Take fish, by example. And other natural resources were considered prescindible, like tigers. Who needs tigers? That change of mind is quite recent, and is still happening. Ask Trump, who reduced national parks and opened lands for logging, mining, oiling and fracking. Ask Bolsonaro, who didn’t care about the Amazon burning until Europe threatened him with economic sanctions.
So, there you have it.
Customer
we need another president like teddy roosevelt
Customer
i think we need a good person
Customer
@Ahtagoh no need to be nasty. Have you neveer heard that everyone is entitled to his,or her opinions?
Customer
Teddy was a leader no doubt about it. Not a mealy mouth politician .
Customer
@richardvilseck it is painful to compare our embarrassment to any past leader.
Customer
TR broke up the trusts and the bug businesses. Trump gave the biggest tax break in history TO big businesses and the top 1%. TR established our first National Parks. Trump has rolled back environmental regulations. TR read a book a day before breakfast and authored countless books of his own. Trump got someone else to write his book for him, TR volunteered to go to war and received the Medal of Honor. Trump is a coward who received five deferments for a bone spur but can’t remember in which foot. Don’t compare our very worst president with one of our very best presidents. Trump can hug all of the flags that he wants, he’s still a self serving piece of crap.
