Fun fact, if you'd have said Mosasaurus was a lizard, technically you'd have been right! They belonged to the order Squamata which includes snakes and lizards. Just in case you want the chance to gotcha a 6 year old lol

Outside the British Museum in London, someone’s customised an old-school phone booth. A stuffed fox in a suit is making a call, a squirrel’s looking scandalised, and all the prostitution cards making puns on different woodland creatures. #london #publicart #Taxidermy #art #streetart #BritishMuseum #vice
