Among them, the most peculiar is the "Four Disappearances" described in Chinese folklore, that is, the elk. It is a pity that only the half-body of the elk is preserved in this museum. The rare Siberian tiger specimens in my country are also collected here. The Siberian tigers in our country are on the verge of extinction, and you can see their graceful appearance here.
