My Favorite Thing About the Natural History Museum in London

My favorite thing is the amount of specimens! There is 71,000,000 specimens not on display and 39,000,000 on display! There even is a giant squid! We went on a tour and saw the giant squid and some of the specimens Darwin collected! All of the specimens were in alcohol to preserve them. There are 110,000,000 specimens in all! The giant squid was the size of a double decker bus. The scientists that worked there thought it was only a baby girl. There is a lot more to the museum but my dad will cover it because he is a faster typer.

Wow - that really sounds fun. Probably better than the Field Museum in Chicago!!
