Natural History and More
Following on from yesterdays post at the MC priceless evening at the Natural History Museum here is one of our behind the scenes treats. Ok it is a little scary but not as scary as it would be in the wild. Do you know what it is? I'd never met one before. A wolverine. Those jaws are capable of chomping through your thigh bone. Yikes keep out of its way. His fur is very desirable for around the hood of your hat. Why? Because it wont go icy. A combination of its fur type and density means you can just brush the ice off. Pretty important at minus 40. Our behind the scenes tour with the professionals in each field was magic. Dinosaurs, meteorites, plants, animals and gems of information not on any brochure. I even got to hold in my hand a meteorite from Mars. Beat that!
