“You are what you eat” is a true saying that paleontologists can use to understand the diets of extinct animals. Chemicals from food get incorporated into the body, like bones and teeth, and by analyzing these chemicals, paleontologists can understand the diets and dietary differences of animals that lived in the past. During this talk, Dr. Robert Feranec, curator of Ice Age animals, will discuss the diversity of different animals that lived in New York and their diets during the Ice Age.
