Here is a nice reconstruction of the Dodo:

"It was a wonderful day and we saw the Crystal Palace and Mama bought us ices - only the dinosaurs did get a bit out of hand and one of them almost ate my straw hat. And the baby started crying so we decided to go home."
From the guidebook:
"The chief features of the picturesque grounds are the broad central walk, 96 feet wide, and 2660 feet long; the arcade of iron trellis work, and the rosery around, placed on a mound; the two grand fountain basins with the stone arcades; and the lake at the bottom of the gardens, with restorations of extinct animals upon its islands. These restorations are intended to give as accurate a notion as can now be formed of those animals, whose bony remains have been found fossilized in various ancient strata, the Hylaeosaurus, Megalosaurus, Tclithyosaurus, and other monsters, with forms as ugly as their names, which lived in lakes and swamps in the age of reptiles. "

Lady Olivia's life was changed forever when she fell in love with the Pelican feeder at the Zoological Gardens. Fortunately her husband never suspected the true reason for her sudden interest in ornithology.
Mr Barnum was not a believer in Spirit photography
Mrs Iris Innes , singer and music-hall beauty had countless admirers. She however had eyes for one man alone- Charles Colgate, the legendary zoological dentist and hippopotamus tamer.
