It's finally Halloween! 🦇🧛‍♂️🕷️

I'll be posting all things spooky from the
@museumsvictoria
#library collection throughout today, starting with these bats from 'The Animal kingdom of the Baron Cuvier' (1835-40)

It's nearly Halloween! What's spookier than losing all of your skin, then losing all of your flesh and innards? Clumsy.

Inside the human body from 'Dictionnaire universel d'histoire naturelle' (1849) from the @museumsvictoria #library collection

@cfwriter We don't do cute, we mostly only have terrifying kangaroos over here

There is a genuinely cute kangaroo in the Bilderbuch fur Kinder, but we don't have a copy unfortunately. Perhaps the @nlagovau can help us out?

@arel_erickson do you have any cute kanga taxidermies?

Louis de Freycinet was born #OnThisDay in 1779

Freycinet voyaged around the world in 1817-20, unusually accompanied by his wife Rose after she was able to pass as a man to be allowed on the ship

The ship, the L'Uranie was wrecked on the Falkland Islands in Feb 1820

Getting hammered this weekend?

#Sharks from ‘Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte’ by Gottleib Tobias Wilhelm (1799-1800)

@SharkWeek @SharkWeek #RareBooks #illustration #engraving #shark #OldBooks #hammerhead

When is a shark not a shark? When it’s a ghost shark

Ghost sharks are actually fish, whose closest living relatives are sharks

‘Ghost shark’, I’ve just discovered, is also the name of a B-grade horror movie that I DEFINITELY want to watch

When the existential crisis hits...

#SharkWeek continues with this spinous #shark from ‘A history of the fishes of the British Islands’ by Jonathan Couch (1862-65)
