The outer cover of the animals were kept in such a way that they seemed real and alive. We looked at the reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds. There were also some skeletons of animals and birds. 

They were very interesting and we had never seen things like those before. The dead bodies of animals were kept inside a box and stored them in a liquid chemical to prevent them from decaying.

                

There were many interesting things  like egg  laid by a male duck, a three month old human baby, skeleton of hen, cat, etc. The skeleton of cobra along with two parts of skull and whole body was also kept. The skins of animals like Tiger, Bear, Dear, Leopards ,etc.
