Nature Hall
| This exhibit includes specimens of birds, fox,
rabbits, bears, mice, bats, and more. Common water birds are also on
display. These specimens help to understand the food chain and how it
may be an important factor to the extinction of organisms. Many of
these specimens are from the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco before it was
an art museum, and are over 100 years old. Some of the specimens are
from Otto Graft (deceased) who taught at Irvington High School in the 60's
to 80's. A shell collection is also on view that shows the major groups of marine invertebrates. It includes a collection of an unknown donor who was a teacher. The collection includes Mollusk, Arthropods, Corals, and Echinoderms. |
