I was amazed at the huge variety in the collection. There were anteaters, several crocodiles, fish, narwhals, cases full of insects, elephants, eels, giraffes, antelopes, kangaroos, goats spiders, skeletons, seals, walruses, swans, eagles moles, ducks, crabs, gorillas, dogs, tigers, hippos, zebras, an array of different antlered and horned beasts and many many others plus cassowaries of course. There was even an explanation of taxidermy. There were several animals I had never heard of at all and a lot of information about evolution and animal classification and adaptation. It was absolutely crammed with specimens, very clearly displayed.
