Hi, I'm the American Museum of Natural History. I've lived here in New York City since 1869, when my first exhibitions appeared at the Central Park Arsenal. Soon after, I moved to my present home, at 77th St and Central Park West. The cornerstone of that building, designed by J.C. Cady & Co., was laid by President Ulysses Grant in 1874, and President Rutherford B. Hayes officiated at its formal opening in 1877.
I love to meet and educate new people, young and old alike, and love to work on ground-breaking research in Anthropology and the Natural Sciences.
Some of my favorite exhibits over the years have included Epidemic!: The World of Infectious Disease, The Nature of Diamonds, Body Art: Marks of Identity, Chocolate, Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils New Discoveries, and of course the Butterfly Conservatory. (Subscribe to my blog and I'll keep you filled in on the latest exhibit news!) I'm also partial to the permanent exhibits in the Hall of Ocean Life, the Mammal Halls, and the Giant Sequoia in the Hall of North American Forests. Oh, and you HAVE to come see my newly opened Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins - it's so amazing!
Although I'm interested in worldwide travel, I'm pretty much a homebody, so my friends usually bring back cool specimens for me from their travels and expeditions.
Jazz is one of my favorite kinds of music, and I try to catch a show in the Rose Center at least once a month, as I do with IMAX films.
My best friend is a giant Blue Whale. We like to stay up late into the night talking about stuff like evolution, global warming, and the latest discoveries in paleontology. Stop by sometime and I'll introduce you to her.
Hope you'll come visit soon!
Kimle tanışmak isterim: Everyone! NORMAL OPERATING HOURS: Open daily 10:00am – 5:45pm. Rose Center remains open until 8:45 p.m. on the first Friday of every month. The Museum is closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. -- For more information, call 212-769-5100. --

It wiped out 85% of all species on Earth in the End-Permian Mass Extinction 251 million years ago, and can do it again, right now. The much milder Cretaceous Crisis was the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Global warming is real and unfolding. The deniers are either blind or lying.
On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
We do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..
Sinikka Crosland, President of The Responsible Animal Care Society (TRACS), leading and winning activist in British Columbia, who has a thing or two to show her American counterparts, will join Anthony Marr this Friday on Animal Voices to talk about this and other issues.

When I was in Africa a couple of decades ago, I camped for a stretch in the territory of a lion pride comprising 3 males, 10 females and 22 cubs.
The 3 pride-males, named Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector (AAH), were about 6 years of age and very much in their prime. Their 22 cubs were thriving under their protection - protection against predators,
and the coalition of four 4-year-old prideless bachelors, who had been loitering in the neighborhood.
Due to the superior fighting prowess of AAH, they had been kicking the butts of the Gang of Four (GOF), so far. If the GOF drove out or killed AAH, they would kill all their cubs so that the lionesses would have cubs bearing their genes. AAH would be able to repel GOF for another couple of years, which was a fairly stable long term scenario in lion terms. What was unforeseen was that a trophy hunter killed Achilles.
Now with only Agamemnon and Hector holding the fort, they were no match for the GOF. Valiantly, AH tried to defend their offspring, but it was a matter of fighting to the last cub before they both were killed. The 10 lionesses became the spoils of war. And so, a new leonine dynasty was born. But through it all, 25 lives were loss, all due to one single bullet fired by one egomaniacal trophy hunter. Shame on Safari Club International! And shame on you Mr. President, for support hunting.
Dolphin brains are larger than ours (1600 CC vs1450 CC). Who are we to say what they can or cannot think? Anthony Marr's latest creation: [Conversation with a Dolphin], was the jewel of last Friday's Animal Voices talkshow.
will be Anthony Marr's guests on Animal Voices this Friday, when we will be charting a course for humanity.

Which of the following 3 alternatives would you wish for these fawns?
If you prefer the 3rd alternative, please join the Anti-Hunting-Alliance (AHA) currently being forged by Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE - www.HOPE-CARE.org), which initially will seek to accomplish the following:
1. Support local campaigns against the culling and bow-hunting of deer in urban, suburban and park environments.
2. Integrate the local deer-battles into a national Deer War.
3. Launch massive internet and media campaigns on local and national levels.
4. Launch federal-level class-action legal challenges against the state-level Hunter Harassment laws for violating the freedom of speech and property rights of non-hunters and anti-hunters as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (listen to the Jan Haagensen interview by Anthony Marr on Animal Voices in www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr).
There will be a higher aim with the success of some or all of the above objectives: To terminate Recreational Hunting and Trophy Hunting, period.
Please contact Anthony Marr via MS messaging or email (Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org) and let's roll!
Autumn has always been loved. But lately, sadly, I've heard cries of "They've made me hate the fall!", due to the annual bloodbath of deer. To sooth your frazzled nerves, let me share with you [Nocturnal Meditation: a gift of peace] - music by Chopin (Nocturne in E-flat) and Massenet (Meditation, performed by Anne Sophie Mutter); photography by Anthony Marr. If you have already seen/heard it, be enchanted all over again, and pass it on.
Descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, a hunter addressed me as "Dear Rush Limbaugh of Animal Rights". Haha! No thanks. But if Limbaugh can do it on his medieval mindset, so can I on my futuristic one. This coming Friday, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, on Animal Voices, I will just bare my soul, open my heart, and speak my mind. And you are invited to do likewise. Just call 1- 604- 684- 7561, and speak your mind.
Hi there! I have a new track in my player called KEPLER MISSION. It celebrates the great man Johannes Kepler himself. And the International Year of Astronomy. And of course the NASA mission of the same name. Have a listen, please!

I made my first video slideshow and wanted to share it with you. The musician (Elizabeth Ann Middleton) is one I found through MySpace, and she generously let me use her music to set to my images. Visit her MySpace page here - http://www.myspace.com/pianorama - she's fantastic! :-)

Kristal Parks (www.PachydermPower.org) will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this coming Friday, Sept. 11. To say that Kristal loves elephants is an understatement. To say that she is in love with them is to trivialize the profound. Her fate and the elephants' seem inextricably intertwined. She lives and breathes for the elephants. The following video will give you a glimpse of Kristal Parks..

Anthony Marr arrested in Czech Republic while on bike tour!
Just kidding!!! That's not me! This is me, safe and sound in Vancouver. I always wear protective gear when I ride, and so do my passengers. :D
Anyway, now that I've caught your attention, I just want you to know that this coming Friday's Animal Voices talkshow will feature I, me and myself. I've decided to do an hour program on my new article "What the USA must change to become a great nation" ( see www.HomoSapiensSaveYourEarth.blogspot.com). Someone out there has undertaken to sent it on to President Obama with the following recommendation:
"President Obama and every member of Congress should read this major masterpiece twice so that they can clearly understand and fully realize what *MUST CHANGE* before the USA will ever become a great nation. This publication is a monumental achievement that is compelling, riveting, gut wrenching, extremely powerful, and really shocking. All you have to do is read it!!"

Brenda Davis R.D., vegan dietitian and author of 5 best-selling books, will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, August 21, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT - CFRO 102.7FM in Vancouver, online-live at www.coopradio.org globally. Veganism is at the core of the Animal Rights movement, but an improperly implemented vegan diet which causes health problems will discredit not only veganism, but the animal rights movement itself. Brenda Davis will discuss: - What is a healthy vegan diet? - What are the most common dietary blunders that vegans make? - Is a vegan diet safe for people of all ages? - Do vegans need to take supplements? - Are there any real health advantages to a vegan diet? In 2003-2004, Brenda Davis and her then 15 year old son Cory travelled with Anthony Marr in his first (of 6) Compassion for Animals Road Expedition (CARE-tour), which covered 41 states in 7 months. She has impressed Anthony as being the healthiest and best conditioned person he has ever met. Cory was raised on a vegan diet since birth, and is the picture of health himself. Anthony Marr's Animal Voices talkshow is online live (www.coopradio.org) and on the air (CFRO 102.7FM Vancouver) every Friday 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT. Hotline call-in # 604-684-7561.
