from Kids' Questions Answered · host Emily Dangremond

Dr. Danger wants to know, "what are tar pits?" Super Eddie gives his interpretation of tar pits, and then Dr. Danger asks Joyce Uglow, author of the new picture book STUCK! The Story of La Brea Tar Pits. Joyce tells us all about La Brea tar pits and the plants and animals that were stuck there and fossilized thousands of years ago. We talk about smilodon, the saber tooth cat! Dire wolves! Camels! Super Eddie tells Dr. Danger what he doesn't like about tar pits.
