Paris with Kids, Part Four - Museum of Natural History and Zoo

On the second day, we set off in the opposite direction as the previous day, to Jardin des Plantes and the National Museum of Natural History. We were fortunate enough to be in town at the same time as Trixie, a adolescent T. Rex. This was a part of Paris Elise and I didn’t see on our first trip, so everyone was really excited.









The galleries of paleontology and comparative anatomy were in a different building, a short time all through the botanical garden.





Statue at the entrance, artist’s impression of orangutans in Java. 





Rhinoceros skeletons.


Cyclops cat.








After exploring the galleries, filled with treasures both phantasmagoric and fantastic, we wondered over to the small zoological menagerie in the park.
