While I haven't actually visited the Museum in question, I might get around to it over the summer. I found a very useful tool on their website by chance allowing people to navigate the exact species on show currently. I have only noted down the mammal and bird species below here, but if anyone is interested, a plethora of fish and invert species can be found across the many galleries of the museum.
I only noted the species below down because some of the species I suspect would be very interesting to certain members and I believe a number of them are not present in the gallery as of yet. I will be noting the species of note in bold. Particularly interesting are the large number of Japanese endemics. I've put the more widespread, exotic species under a spoiler so as to not make the post excessively long.
