The fantasy side of the exhibit is inspired by the alien planet Traal, watch out for the creature that made those foot prints!
“…avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you)…”
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams
The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is a creature that hails from the planet of Traal, and will eat anything. Despite this, the Guide did state, erroneously, that "ravenous Bugblatter beasts often make a very good meal for (rather than of) visiting tourists" in its article on the planet Traal. This led to deaths of those who took it literally. The guide's editors avoided lawsuit by summoning a poet to testify under oath that beauty was truth, truth beauty, and therefore prove that their claim, the nicer one, must be true. This led to life itself being held in contempt of court for being neither beautiful nor true, and subsequently being removed from all those present at the trial.
