Bringing the skeleton into the Museum's collection meant a rare in-person look at rhino's skull. It's just as heavy as you'd think. Courtesy of Tyler Hayden.
The arrival of this new specimen highlights the crucial relationship zoos play in ensuring rare and endangered species are represented in museum collections like ours: go.nhm.org/white-rhino

at time of description, the male was unknown. here he is, from the type locality
my son earned $10 for this find, later discussed how he'd like to go to a salary arrangement

A watercolor painting of an Aldabra giant tortoise, detailed in soft browns and grays, walking with its neck extended, sketched on hot press paper.
Painted this Aldabra giant tortoise slowly with a limited palette and a lot of coffee (literally). These gentle giants can live over 150 years. That kind of long, steady survival feels like a small miracle lately. #sciart #addherper #watercolor
