Museum visit

I yesterday went to a talk at a place called the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, which I hadn't heard of before, and the talk was great but I am so going back, there were so many skulls and skeletons and pelts and things to see, including a blue whale right at the entrance.

I'd just finished reading still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy a few days ago, so the two or three cases interested me particularly: Birds and I think the term is gameheads, the head and shoulders of various hoofed mammals. All on loan from someone apparently.

How did I not know that a hedgehog is cute even when a skeleton?

I never knew this either, but now I really, really want one.
