Saw this and thought of you

[joella]

I was in Brighton recently and while visiting the museum/gallery I saw this, it made me think of Dennis and his beautiful pangolin

Thank you Sue, that's a perfect one. Did it say what it was made of?

This one is in the Booth Museum in Brighton, and it's made of... Pangolin

Yes, sadly - it’s taxidermy - but from a time gone by (can’t actually remember the date), but can’t really be judged by today’s more enlightened times. I prefer dennis’s Pangolin as it’s beautiful and charming without the sad connotations of the taxidermy one. Interestingly, the scales on a pangolin are made from the same substance as fingernails.
