Chainmail snails, uncrushable beetles and a secret space mission manned by moss piglets? Join us for another episode of The 'Perfect' Specimen, this week Josh and Natalie are joined by curatorial assistant, Talay Namintraporn, with three specimens all relating to the word 'tough'. Talay also shares their 'perfect' specimen. Does the perfect museum specimen exist? What's the squishiest? The most exuberant? Or even the most noxious? Each episode, our hosts take their pick from 80 million specimens at the Natural History Museum to find the 'perfect' specimen. Their only prompt? A single word. #NaturalHistoryMuseum #Podcast #Perfect ---------------- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/NaturalHistoryMuseumLondon Website: http://www.nhm.ac.uk Instagram: http://instagram.com/natural_history_museum TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@its_nhm Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nhm-london.bsky.social X: https://x.com/nhm_london Facebook: http://fb.com/naturalhistorymuseum Browse our shop: https://www.nhmshop.co.uk/
