So I'm popping down to Swiss Cottage Library, and the lady behind the counter looks at me sort of funny when I ask her if I can take out a Red Kangaroo hide. "Well," I say to her, "the dead animal library at Berkley University would have it."
Stranger than Night At The Museum (and funnier, man Ben Stiller sucks), Berkley's collection of skulls and skins causes one to reach the kind of shock and awe we've come become accustomed to. Okay, it's a bit sciencey, but there are some amazing pelts, and even more amazing, the way Prof Jim Patton seems to toss them around.
Quote of the day (Prof Patton): "Capybara. Tastes just like chicken." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara Mmm, yes Jim, if anyone would know. Did that pelt just move??
PS Apologies for the car ad on the vid, Wired Science has to pay for dead animal porn somehow...

It would be neat if they included human hides.
