A vivarium for post-digital organisms. Every specimen here was collected in the wild, catalogued, and left alive. Search the accession list.
Only specimen in the collection that appears to feed on being disliked. Population increasing faster than any prior collection period.
Metabolises a decade it did not live through. Specimens raised in captivity develop identical memories despite no shared habitat.
Cannot complete a sincere statement without appending an escape hatch. Every observed specimen retreats within four seconds.
Converts recovery into output. Documented across four billion viewings of strangers folding towels.
A referent-free organism. Tastes exactly like the thing it does not contain, and is thriving in habitats where the original cannot survive.
Not an organism in the strict sense. Catalogued anyway because visitors keep reporting it as one.
The founding accession. Whatever it labelled is no longer in the collection, and the plaque outlived it by some decades.
Behaviour indistinguishable from a person until observed. Classification pending; the observation appears to be the cause.
Observations are reviewed by the curator before they enter the record. Nothing appears on the wall until it is accessioned.
