Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman had a backroom tour of the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Alberta where he perused a natural history collection of nearly 70,000 items donated by a generous oilman and lawyer. Loren posted snapshots of his tour over at Cryptomundo. From Loren's post:

Walls were covered with trophy heads and taxidermy items were on several rows of shelves. Over in the corner, one might find a huge Galapagos tortoise. Turn around, look under a sheet of plastic, and there's a baby musk ox.
