My Skeleton Work (WARNING! Dead animals and high res photos)

looking at all the bone pictures, i'm suddenly having flashbacks to my first semester of drawing! >_<

that is really awesome, btw. i never thought so much work went in to making those nice clean bones i've been forced to draw for so long.
 
Wow how fascinating!! You said about if they are larger than a cat you remove the brain, but how about smaller species? Dont you remove the brain then?

Nah. The beetles LOVE the brains! Tons of moisture and yummy protein. I could actually leave in the brains on anything, but in the larger critters, it tends to make a smelly mess. The brain will end up liquefying and oozing out the foramen magnum. Very smelly and messy.

On a side note to those watching this thread, Im hopefully getting a fish and some reptiles from Jinx and LifelessForm. Those should be really awesome looking!
 
Very nice independent study project. I did my thesis on Zooxanthellae algae with an invertebrate biologist. Wasn't as cool as yours, but we had great a cookout. After we studied our clams and mussels subjects, we got to eat them ;p

Lol, that's awesome! This is actually the lesser part of my independent project. The main thing I did was a poster project based on research correlating the bill and jugal bar of North American accipitridae based on current phylogentic data and feeding ecology.
 
thanks so much for sharing. Ahhh... I would love to go back to university... if only I could get someone to pay me to be a student, forever... that would be nice. Anyway, brought back memories...I loved my bio courses!
 
cool thread,but i've said it before and i'll say it again,"your weird bio"...:lipssealedsmilie:...lol:raspberry:
