Randall Museum
Here are pics and short videos from a visit to the Randall Museum in San Francisco on Friday.
In the desert habitat section we see a collared lizard basking under a heat lamp.
A small northern alligator lizard.
Thirsty guinea pig is thirsty.
One of several western pond turtles in the riparian habitat section.
In the urban wildlife section, sleepy raccoon is sleepy. The animals in the museum have been injured in some way and cannot be released back into the wild, so they are cared for at the museum.
The museum's basement houses the Oceans exhibit.
A small white fish is blurry behind thick glass.
Also in the basement is the impressive layout of the Golden Gate Model Railroad Club, where miniature trains run on schedule automatically.
The view of of a misty, drizzly San Francisco from the museum's location on Corona Heights.
Short video (28 seconds) of a docent bringing a barn owl down from its enclosure to show us. The owl has an injured wing and cannot fend for itself, so it's taken care of in the museum.
Another denizen of the urban wildlife habitat, Mus musculus, or mouse, scampers around for twenty-five seconds in its enclosure.
A red-eared slider in the riparian habitat tank spends twenty-two seconds investigating the camera before swimming away.
Vividly colorful video of a wood duck call visualized in a twenty-two-second sound graph.
