[Photos] Museum of Western Australia.

On Saturday, Putu, Glen and I went to the Museum of Western Australia
(and then to Korean BBQ)
and then we went home and watched the rest of season 1 Fringe (which is like my 10th time rewatching, but yay!)
Anyway, have some photos.

I liked the Thylacine / Dingo comparison too, I thought that was a really thoughtful way of actually comparing the two. :D

and is that second deer mount a Pere David's deer?

I think so? I'm not actually sure, I didn't get a chance to look at the sign specifically for that deer; however I know they did have a couple of extinct / rare ones represented.

I think so?

I still think so now that I'm not high on cold medications and stupid from being sick. It's got the long skinny rostrum, the prominent preorbital gland, and what really caught my attention, the "reversed" antlers(i.e. with the brow tine pointing backward). They are an amazing species! I'm excited second hand that you saw an actual mount. :D
