Indeed, museum collections are fascinating. Many of us probably still gawk at stuffed collections of extant and extinct birds, beetles, vibrantly-colored butterflies, and other animals that fill up glass cases and exhibition halls.\u00a0Many of these collections were borne out of expeditions to remote parts of the world; treks\u00a0that involved trapping, killing, preserving and cataloging animals that explorers\u00a0encountered. Many of these collections have been useful in shaping what we know of the natural world.\u00a0However, species conservation or scientific advancement was not always the goal of animal-collection.
