Onychorhynchus coronatus 22 Oct 2020 Lovely specimen, the pose looks so much more naturalistic than many museum specimens of this species.

twilighter 22 Oct 2020 Nice specimen, indeed. They have one more emblematic extinct species on display - the Great Auk.
Onychorhynchus coronatus 22 Oct 2020 @twilighter You mean emblematic in the sense of it having once been native to Norway ?
twilighter 22 Oct 2020 No no, I meant that the tragic stories behind the both species disappearance from the face of the Earth are well known.

Onychorhynchus coronatus 22 Oct 2020 @twilighter Oh yes, I totally agree, they are indeed quite emblematic and famous species regarding their extinction (which is a bit ironic considering that they were not very well known while extant).
