## Caption

AI can’t but our Preparators can! This week our Preparators re-installed two giant pronghorn antelope while performing maintenance work in the Lava Tube diorama in our Gallery of California Natural Sciences. 🦌Joining the pronghorn are a golden-mantled ground squirrel, California quail, great basin rattlesnake, and a common poorwill.⁠
⁠
Shoutout to our Preparators and conservators for the care and expertise it takes to preserve and reinstall specimens like these!⁠
⁠
Plan your visit to see this remarkable species and see if you can spot all the animals! 🐿️🦌🐦⁠
