    Below the zebra (what the hell is that doing on the top shelf?); now, find the Temminck’s golden cat.

    PS. This is a fascinating collection that would be so much better if things were labelled with some info about their origin. I suspect the Temminck’s golden cat and others are from Melbourne Zoo’s own collection. It’d be interesting to know who they were.
