The visit to the La Brea Tar Museum would be one of the most influential experiences in my career and life as whole. The visit is one of the events that enhance my passion to advance my career in a history-related discipline. I believe that only the visit could equip me the immense knowledge that I now possess concerning some of the most admired historical facts and concepts. Through the museum tour, I have gathered substantial knowledge regarding the Pleistocene extinction. I now appreciate that most of the largest mammals that the present generation might admire to see perished during the Pleistocene era. Moreover, I have learned the lions, cats and other members of saber-toothed cat family have shared ancestry. I appreciate that the huge and powerful canines possessed by the saber-toothed cat family was a crucial component of their survival ways.
