Uuuuh! it's great to see them all together, makes a lot of difference in the understanding of their proportions. Wish the American lion was in there with them!

Damn! That's a smallish cave bear. It doesn't look to be that much bigger than a blackbear. Think it might be a youngin?

Tak, I'm glad that if u like the picture=]
The name of the museum in japanese is 国立科学博物館(kokuritsu kagaku hakubutsukan), probably the largest museum of the kind in my country, and it's located at the ueno park, ueno, tokyo.
So I think it's not a bad idea(if u have time) to include it to ur list of places=]

Thanks a lot! I will keep that in mind, and try to include it in my Japan-visit.
I will stay in Tokyo for 14 days, so I am sure I will get the time for it
