Family affair

A family of Pteranodons now greets visitors to the renovated Peabody Museum. The museum commissioned life-sized model skeletons of the winged reptiles for its lobby as a tribute to Peabody founder O.C. Marsh, who discovered the first Pteranodon fossils in 1871. The male specimen is perched atop the information desk, and the much smaller female clings to a wall nearby, watching over two juveniles on a ledge.
