Otter and Seal Hunting Exhibit January 10, 2010

From prehistoric times to the early twentieth century, otter and seal hunting has been a commercial link between California and the outside world. Three flip-up touch panels allow visitors to compare materials that were used to make clothing and goods: otter fur, cow hide, and sheep's wool. Flip-up panels identify otter, seal, and sea lion species that were hunted and captured during this period.
