Origami Tree: Museum of Natural History

While I was recently attending a holiday party at the American Museum of Natural History (the greatest museum of all time, by the way), I was enthralled by their version of the holiday tree:

It was entirely decorated in origami, but not just any origami - animal origami! Surrounding the tree at the base were even more creations by the AMNH origami department (yes, it exists). These were some of the most incredible things I had ever seen in the paper folding world: entire articulated dinosaur skeletons, a grasshopper on the origami stem of an origami flower, herds of horses, millipedes...I was in awe. Here are a few more pictures to attempt to do this tree justice:
What an easy, almost-no-waste, recyclable and reusable way to decorate a holiday tree! This inspired a (MUCH) smaller version at a friend's holiday party - pictures tomorrow....
