The Virginia Museum of Natural History has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr., Charitable Foundation Trust for a new Smilodon fatalis, or saber-toothed cat exhibit. This new exhibit will travel to selected museums, libraries and other venues statewide before being placed on display in the museum's Harvest Foundation Hall of Ancient Life in late 2015.
