Natural History Museum
The
is different to the ordinary museum. For starters, the giant comet.
The life size blue whale.
The massive butterfly enclosure. Here are some pictures, I'll tell you about butterflies in a minute.

And it's section on minerals.
Now, this blue whale is exactly where we went……………. second, so first things first things first, the talk about dragonflies and damselflies. I'll basically only give you info for this one.
- Dragonflies lay up to a thousand eggs a month.
- They come back to lay more eggs over a a time span of three weeks.
- There are only a few types of damsel flies
- Males of some species protect females while the are laying eggs
- Females lay there eggs underwater
- Dragonflies also have a territory
- The get married by biting each other on the neck

Now we go and see big blue whale in the blue section (wonder why?) in the sea mammals area.
This is a picture of some ocean unicorns - Narwhals.

| Inside a Hippo mouth - aaaaargh |
Then we went on to the land mammals section turned left and through the dinosaurs
 |
| Ichthyosaurus. Discovered by the girl from "she sells sea shells by the sea shore" |
and then to the birds
 |
| Stuffed Hummingbird |
and out the door to...
On the way in we were given a stamp card. On your way round you had to collect the stamps for your sheet. After that we went up the escalator into the giant comet and to the mineral exhibition.
Unfortunately we had to rush through the minerals section but fortunately we still took in most of it.
And finally, after an amazing experience in Harrods and a great Chinese dinner, home.
That's all for now.

The bit I liked the best about the entire museum was the sensational butterflies enclosure because of all the different species they had.
