Eaten Alive – The World of Predators is an interactive exhibition exploring the behaviours, adaptations and techniques that predators use to catch prey. It's currently touring across Australia. Check our list of On Tour: Exhibitions to find out where it is now!
The exhibition contains fourteen interactive exhibits and three robotic exhibits.
Teacher Resources
These resources are especially for teachers and parents planning a visit to Eaten Alive.
Research shows that students gain the most benefit from a museum visit by doing activities before or after their visit, rather than doing worksheets during their time in a gallery. Encouraging your students to discuss exhibit themes and how they link to the everyday world is a great way to enrich your students’ experience while they are in the galleries.
