I think the most aggressive animal that's around is probably the wild boar.
A marten gnawed a cable.
They did find a poor little beast just lying, having electrocuted himself.
But he brought things to a standstill as well.
They are actually a pest in the area because they go into people's cars and all the cables.
People who talk about, oh, we've had the fouine, which is the French for eating our cables in the car.
They are a nuisance.
But evidently this person who runs that section of the museum has a thing about, you know, it's a bit like your podcast.
He's got a thing about just weird animal stuff.
The person who'd been in charge of the accelerator, he talks about it, you know, what was it like trying to get the accelerator going?
He said, oh, well, there is the time we had Romeo and Juliet.
Oh, a science love story.
There was a big power cut and they went outside and evidently it had electrocuted two Mr and Mrs Deer in the act.
So they referred to them as Romeo and Juliet after that, these two deer.
Oh, my God.
Two deer king.
But the poor deer were electrocuted and died, you know.
They didn't end up in a museum, I hasten to add.
