Video: The Dead Animal Library

For the animal lover:

But this video is the next best thing.

BERKELEY, California — Jim Patton walks to a cabinet and pulls open a drawer. Out slide two neat rows of chipmunks, impeccably preserved. Officious handwritten tags tell the story of each and every animal’s capture. In a screwtop container on the tray, a half-dozen chipmunk skulls rattle, picked clean of all their tissue by a beetle colony housed downstairs.
Just like in the movie The Mummy! Check this out:

Yikes!
