resigned to dust, don't pity us

a few snapshots from a temporary exhibit at The Academy of Natural Science. it's a collection of some of the specimens that have been in the museum since its founding, very cool stuff. highly recommend it if you find yourself with a free day in philadelphia, and aren't squeamish about taxidermy/specimens. they also have a shelter for rescued "exotic pets", and you can even buy presents for them for their birthdays and christmas.
