Item Description

Join Dr. Julian Kerbis Peterhans for a guaranteed thrill at The Field Museum for a special behind-the-scenes tour. Julian is an adjunct curator of mammals at The Field Museum, professor at Roosevelt University, and co-discovered the infamous ' Den of the Man-eating Lions of Tsavo " (portrayed in the Val Kilmer/Michael Douglas film, the Ghost and the Darkness ). This discovery led to a series of publications and lectures on maneless lions and the definitive paper on the causes of man-eating behavior (a signed copy of which is included in this package), as well as a series of television specials. Hear the inside scoop on the infamous Tsavo man-eating lion story, tour the vaults 'behind the scenes', visit the room of the flesh-eating beetles, see the world-class mammal collections and other treasures. Tour for up to 1.5 hours and 15 participants, ages 8 and up. Date and time to be mutually agreed upon.  Free one year family membership to Field Museum included.  Open to Lab families, alumni and faculty only. Value:  Priceless
