Hey Everyone,
I was at the Natural History Museum yesterday and found the skelton of a chameleon. It's pretty cool because you can even see its tongue. Sorry the photograph isn't that great, it was through glass. Thought you all may be interested.

Hey did you go a little further down and enter the bug room? Last time I was there they had all kinds of live insect cultures going.

No, I was there close to closing time and I had to leave soon after I took this shot. I've been to the bug room before and I remember it being very cool.
