We both remembered it from long ago when it was a quaint little museum full of dusty taxidermy dioramas. Now it's big and modern. And while a lot of the dioramas made the trip the place is spic and span. I have never seen glass polished to the extent that sometimes I had to peer closely to see that it was there at all. They must have the greatest janitorial staff in existence.
It encouraged me to snap a few pictures with the "Through Glass" function on my camera. Some of them turned out pretty well.
Wrestling possums. I figure this will be the grandkids in a few years when the age/size discrepancy is less.
Some of the things on display were live including this meditative toad.
Technically it is a giant beaver of some sort. Here's his modern day descendant apparently nursing a stomach ache. Must have eaten some bad bark.
And because the primary function of the internet is cat pictures, here's a lynx licking its lips in anticipation of chomping onto a little bird. Both the bird and the lynx are of course full of dry stuffing material so this amount of gustatory anticipation is actually a bit odd.
A fun place to visit. We will haul the grandkids over some day.
