The depicted educative trail, "Stopy v case" / "Traces in Time", in Prague ZOO is focused to explain by very effective way the evolution of life on Earth using fossils.
At the nine stops on the trail you can observe fossils (models and even originals) from every epoch in the evolution of life on Earth. This walk through prehistory, approx. 300 m long, starts in the Proterozoic and goes on through the Paleozoic down to the Quaternary period. Each stop will introduce you to the leading group of organisms of the epoch. You will see an example of fossilized stromatolites or legendary trilobites, make the acquaintance of the rapacious Seymouria and check out the peaceful giant Deinotherium.
While adults will be amazed at the real jaws of the giant shark (Carcharodon megalodon) that would grow to up to 16 m in length, or at Czech trilobites, for the children here was prepared something different: a sandbox hiding treasures from bygone times that not even a renowned paleontologist would be ashamed of discovering.
The trail was opened for public use in April 2012.
