[Lizard says hello.]
[Image of small colourful bird perched on a red feeding bowl, with nearby bowls occupied by drunken butterflies.]
[Image of giant book of beautiful Audubon sketches. Only accessible to museum volunteers.]
[Image of frolicking penguins.]
[Image of pinned ladybirds of varying size and spot pattern.]
[Image of orange-clad museum volunteer handling matching orange corn snake.]
[Image of coiled snake.]
[Image of chameleon, giving chameleon equivalent of stinkeye.]
[Image of Darwin's finches, preserved in jars.]
[Image of green seaweed and multicoloured upside-down jellyfish. Tentacle colour depends on which algae they host.]
