Dioramas contain taxidermied animals that have died accidentally or naturally. They have been mounted in natural scenes. Each diorama has an informational fact sheet to identify the animals in the scene and to explain where the animals live, what they eat, how they reproduce and other interesting facts. Fact sheets are available in the SRC or soon to be online at www.cmnh.org.

Dioramas marked with an asterisk (*) come with a hands-on kit.
