In response to an recent query about rubber feet, the
     following is offered by Claudia Berg, our Curator of
     Exhibits:

     "I would check with paleontology labs in museums, they
     are always making casts of specimens and probably could
     make you casts from their collections. For rubber feet
     I would check retail store catalogs.  I know our museum
     store manager receives lots of very unique merchandise
     catalogs.  Call some zoos, I would guess they receive
     store catalogs that have some amazing things in them.
     Departments like US Fish & Wildlife might have casts of
     prints, maybe they would allow you to make latex molds.
      I know Minnesota Historical Society produced a hands
     on exhibit with rubber pig's feet (that's right, rubber
     pig's feet).  They might have a source for you.  Good
     luck."
