Pack Ratting At The Beaty Biodiversity Museum In Vancouver

The Beaty is cool, a repository of old school specimens. Think classic animal taxidermy, scary things in vials, fossils. A real playground of throwback scientific research and collecting.

Speaking of collecting, they have a little display, comparing, contrasting, and fooling the viewer. Two collections, one group from a human hoarder and the other group found inside walls of a house, put there by rats. Who collects what?

Spoiler alert, you can't tell the difference! No matter, everyone/thing are good collectors.
