Yesterday was International Museum Day, and the International Wildlife Museum in Tucson threw open its doors for free admission. I was in!

The diorama of the bobcat snatching a bird from the air reminded me of this preposterous situation I witnessed by an Arkansas road, where a duck had died in the clutching branches of a tree:

Tucson's International Wildlife Museum is petite compared to Chicago's Field Museum and Springfield's Wonder of Wildlife extravaganza, and some of the animal specimens are showing signs of age, but I like how the Tucson museum makes so many exhibits touchable to visitors.

I could stroke the head and mane of this ram and sweep my hand over the horns.

It felt nice to be greeted from on high by this giraffe when I entered a new room.
