The Smithsonian’s taxidermy mount made from Martha’s remains illustrates how important conservation is and reminds us that even widespread and abundant North American species can become extinct. #WildlifeConservationDay #ObjectsOfWonder
Smithsonian archaeologists excavated these #ObjectsOfWonder from Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon, NM in the 1920s. It wasn’t until nearly a century later that chemical analysis of the residue inside the cylinders revealed their former contents: these vessels once held chocolate.
No need for dye, these colors are au naturale. Each species of tinamou—a nearly flightless bird from South and Central America—lays a different color of glossy egg. Males build the nest and incubate the eggs, while females nest-hop, laying eggs in multiple nests. #ObjectsOfWonder
For a break, here's something shiny from the natural world: beetles in @NMNH's collection. There are more than three times as many beetle species as there are vertebrate species on Earth.

#OTD in 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt departed on the Smithsonian-Roosevelt African Expedition. On this expedition, he collected specimens for @NMNH, including this African Lion (Panthera leo), which first went on exhibit in 1913. #ObjectsofWonder

"My precious." — Douglassciurus jeffersoni, probably
This squirrel ancestor lived 38 to 34 million years ago. You can see it holding a fossil walnut from the same period in our @NMNH's #ObjectsOfWonder. #SquirrelAppreciationDay
Only a fraction of our collections are on display at any time. The rest are “squirreled” away for safekeeping and future scientific research, like this squirrel ancestor, Douglassciurus jeffersoni. This creature lived 38-34 million years ago in Wyoming #ObjectsofWonder

The #Pantone2020 color may be classic blue, but Lapis lazuli, characterized by its intense blue, has been valued as an ornamental stone & pigment for 6,000 years. The name is derived from the Persian word, lazhward, meaning “blue.” See the 250-lbs “Blue Flame” in #ObjectsofWonder
