Crocodiles, monkeys, tigers, zebras and dozens of other taxidermy animals will move to new homes after concerns about arsenic exposure forced the closure of the South Dakota museum where they had been displayed for decades. The Sioux Falls City Council approved the gifting of the specimens to the University of Notre Dame, the Oddities Museum and the Institute for Natural History Arts. Testing in 2023 revealed arsenic present in 80% of the specimens. The museum then closed until officials could sort out the menagerie’s future, which included passing state legislation last year. All 152 specimens will have a new home. None will be disposed of.
