Sometimes being slow, small or weak can have its advantages in Survival of the Slowest, the newest summer traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, running June 7 through September 5, at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Guests will get an in-depth look at the often-overlooked species that evolved to slow down as part of their survival strategy in a world where large, strong and fast animals are often at the top of the food chain.

The exhibit will feature 14 habitats with live animals (17 species) and plants. Guests will get an up-close look at wildlife with daily presentations featuring a sloth, a tarantula, tortoises, a hedgehog, a blue-tongued skink and more* via wildlife educators and MODS’ Life Sciences staff. Meet animals that have survived for millions of years despite being very slow and learn about the puzzling sides of evolution and adaptation. Discover the difference between warm- and cold-blooded species, explore why some animals need less food than others and see the unique ways they hide from predators.

This educational exhibit looks at the different survival strategies of various species. How can slow and steady win the race? Does bigger always mean better? What animals benefit from being weak rather than strong? This exhibit looks at the advantages and disadvantages of these different traits.

This world class exhibit is produced by Little Ray’s Nature Exhibitions in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature. It is locally sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Little Ray’s Nature Centres is the largest exotic animal rescue organization in Canada with educational programs reaching more than one million Canadians each year. Most of the animals in this exhibition are rescues.

Included with Museum admission.

MIAMI, FL.- Tras tres exitosas temporadas de sold out en el 2019, “En la Vida hay Amores” la “bolero-ópera” del periodista y escritor venezolano, César Miguel Rondón, protagonizada por los talentosísimos Lena Burke y Rafael “Pollo” Brito, regresa al escenario del Colony Theatre de Miami Beach del 6 al 23 de junio de este 2024.
Narrada en vivo por el propio César Miguel Rondón, el show cuenta la historia de “El” y de “Ella” una historia de amor y desamor como tantas que existen en la vida cotidiana contada al ritmo de los mejores y más entrañables boleros de todos los tiempos. El repertorio incluye una treintena de boleros clásicos interpretados magistralmente por Burke y Brito acompañados por un cuarteto en vivo de músicos de talla mundial dirigido por el maestro Héctor Molina.
Cuenta su autor que se inspiró en la letra de “Inolvidable”, el famosísimo bolero escrito por el músico y compositor cubano Julio Gutiérrez en 1944. “Después de tantos años disfrutando este género, me di cuenta de que la gente se podía hablar a través de las canciones o, mejor dicho, los boleros decían lo que la gente se reclamaba en circunstancias críticas” afirma Rondón.
