It's not every day you add a fetal angel to your museum collection!
Just kidding, but it is something pretty special! This deformed guinea hen has four legs! It'll make a great addition to our pathology teaching collection at Prehistoria!
Government: Work from home.

Meet our new friend! We've adopted this rescued baby veiled chameleon.
He's been nicknamed Pi, because he has 3.14 legs! He loves climbing on people (though he's a little stressed from a car ride in this photo), so he may grow up to be a fantastic interactive teaching critter!
He's going to be joining our live animal exhibits at the Prehistoria Natural History Centre! We're looking forward to you folks getting to meet him in person when things open back up.

On cold days like today, I can't help but long for my annual summer adventures... even if they often include butchering dead whales and trying to drag around skulls that weigh more than I do...
I've got a bigger museum now! You know what that means - it's time to bring home some bigger dead whales!
Just a typical day at the office. #FijiIguana
We've added a very unique human skull to the Prehistoria Natural History Centre (#PNHC) collection! As you can see, there's a lot going on with this one.
The unusual lumps on the skull are known as "Calvarial osteomas" - a form of benign tumor that creates bizarre bone growths.
You'll also notice the set of three holes drilled into the sides of the skull. Crazily enough, these were done while the person was alive and they survived! This is a procedure known as trephination - where a hole is drilled out of a human skull to treat health issues.
These days it is almost exclusively done to treat intracranial disease or dangerous pressure buildup, but historically it was seen as a viable option for a number of conditions - including releasing evil spirits and "curing" mental health issues.
You really get to see life when you collect sea life!
From left to right on the cabinet: fish skull, baby walrus skull, pilot whale skull, baby minke whale skull.
