3. La Brea Tar Pits
The La Brea Tar Pits (or Rancho La Brea Tar Pits)are a famous cluster of tar pits around which Hancock Park
was formed, in the urban heart of Los Angeles. Asphalt or tar (brea
in Spanish) has seeped up from the ground in this area for tens
of thousands of years. The tar is often covered with water.
Over many centuries, animals that came to drink the water
fell in, sank in the tar, and were preserved as bones. The
George C. Page Museum is dedicated to researching the tar pits
and displaying specimens from the animals that died there.
