Which London museum has a three-legged quagga?

"It took a very long time for the museum to realise what a treasure it had; there are many oddities in a collection which only three years ago discovered it had half a dodo in a drawer, filed as a crocodile."

This, it seems, was an understandable mistake: crocodiles and birds do have common characteristics. That's all right, then.

Happy New Year!

Wouldn't half a dodo just be a do? :o)

Maybe it was in fact the Spinosaurus and noone noticed a difference because it too had forgotten to put on its pyjama pants? Might happen to anyone. Glad I am not alone. Yesternight we were talking about how the hen is one of the closer relatives of T. Rex (not the musician) but ate half a lamb leg at it. I swear it wasn't quagga though how would I know the difference? Delicious species whatever it was, left in the oven for hours and washed down with a wine not bought for its name Syrrouse. Happy New Year to you too!
