"Tyrannosaurus could not chew so it had to swallow it's food whole. It could swallow 150 pounds in one gulp."
This is a formaldehyde-ified Coelacanth. You'll never see one live in captivity since they can't survive in water that isn't greatly pressurized. Also, this is the only thing I remember from my last trip to the aquarium some 20 years ago.

Loverly welcome from one of the locals, got out of car to take a few pictures of this , whilst doing so I became aware that we were being stared at all the time by an old woman , who politely asked me "what the **** is your problem ? " as we drove off !!!
Part of the "Here Today..." series: "Facing the Future." A child looks through glass at a Lowlands Gorilla silverback, and you can't help but wonder if his children will get to see these magnificent animals?
The silverback is Mister C, the leader of one of the troupes at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden.

This butterfly was discovered in Jersey in 1946 at 3 separate sites, but subsequently became restricted to a single, small site in the north of the island. It is believed that larvae were accidentally introduced in hay that was imported from France during the Second World War while under German occupation (1940-1945). There was a petrol shortage on the island, and this led to an increased use of horses. The butterfly has been extinct on the island since 1996. In Jersey, the butterfly was known by its French name of Le Miroir ("the mirror"), referring to the appearance of the white spots on the hindwings, which resemble beads of water on glass. The butterfly forms discrete colonies and, where it does exist, can occur in large numbers.

Artist’s comments: I spent a lot of time searching for this species among huge flocks of the related Whimbrel, in Newfoundland and Labrador, where we know it once occurred on migration, to no avail. It is generally believed that the last of these birds died out sometime in the 1960s. It seems unlikely that any still survive, but once they were abundant and hunted in huge numbers.
