Museum of Nature

We went to the Canadian Museum of Nature. It has exhibits of Dinosaurs, Mammals and Birds.







These bones and video showed how skeletons are often found, mostly flattened and often smashed, before the experts reconstruct them.



Fossils of skin imprints and dinosaur poo.






These were tiny early horses, smaller than house cats.








This skunk was in it's "warning" posture, ready to spray. We've smelt faint skunk spray in Niagara and Muskoka, it smells a bit like bad-smelling cut grass.


Some birds doing a Madness pose.


Having a pancake afterwards at Pure Crepe on Elgin Street.
