Sometimes I swear that our exhibits come
alive. With our doors closed for now, things seem to shift slightly—I’m pretty
sure Big Snowy (our reproduction mammoth skull) puts on her body and dances
around the gallery. I haven’t caught her, but I’m sure the skull has shifted,
and sometimes the stand she is on seems to be slightly askew!? Sometimes the
other skulls too have repositioned… I sometimes think I hear weird trumpeting,
and stomping—did the floor shake a little? Not an earthquake, but something rhythmic,
something that makes one want to take one’s foot.
If you listen, you might hear, da da tap tap da da da
tap…Big Snowy is very light on her feet for something so huge, da da tappity tap.
