Try Making Your Own Snapping Crocodile!

Did you know that we have a crocodile specimen in our collection? A specimen is an example of something from nature, like an animal, plant or mineral, that explorers like David Livingstone took from the places they visited. These specimens can be really useful to understand how animals and their environments have changed and adapted in time.
