The fossil gallery at Ottawa’s Canadian Museum of Nature has been temporarily closed after a replica of a dinosaur skeleton was sprayed with pink paint by an activist in an apparent bid to draw attention to the “climate crisis.”

The incident occurred at approximately 10 a.m. on Feb. 9 in the museum’s Fossil Gallery, according to an emailed statement from the museum.
