Panzerfisch (engl. Tank Fish)

The Senckenberg Museum is another great retreat.
Tons of Dinosaur bones, stuffed animals and strange fossils.
I loved the different crab species and the fossils of an ancient
sea predator called "Dunkleusteus terelli", 6-8 meters
long and vicious.

Rhino

This is a female rhino, seperated from its male partner.

The male rhino seemed to be in a love rage, walking up and

down nervously while his girlfriend seemed rather relaxed,

chewing grass.

Reptiles

Reptiles are almost as cooperative as plants, in terms of holding
a posture. They can have surprising mood swings and turn from
lethargy to hysteria in an instant.

Palmengarten

The Palmgarden is a beautiful retreat not far from our apartment.
The glasshouses are beautifully made in Jugendstil. The gardens
are kept in very good shape and it feels rejuvinating to visit at any
season. In the summer you can hang out on the meadows and go
rowing on the little lake and in the winter you can warm up inside
the glasshouses. I haven't drawn plants too often, but I find it very
relaxing. Unlike animals they stay still, which makes the job easier.
I love the complicated names: Tillandsia seleriana f.e.
