North Carolina Museum of Natural Science: Tropical Connections and Mountain Cove Forest

Two short sets this week, two big sets coming over the next two weeks.

Mountain Cove Forest

Inside the NCMoNS is one great big recreation of a forest, filled with taxidermied animals. The Mountain Cove Forest was the last of these. I prefer live animals to dead ones, but this was definately one of the better presentations I’ve seen.

Tropical Connections

Lots of cool live animals in this display, and one set of taxidermied animals I didn’t mind: a collection of hummingbirds. A great demonstration of biological variance and adaptation.
