I guess it sounds cooler to say "owl puke" than "owl pellet." I dissected one of those in elementary school. I found most of a mouse skeleton in mine.

Yup. In addition to the 3 pigs and a mink, I've also done 2 frogs, 3 earthworms, a starfish, a cow heart, a sheep brain, a pigeon, a perch, and a centipede. And those are just the ones I remember.

I always liked bio.

Have fun. Medicine was never my thing; I just like dissecting.

I love medicine...I want to be a trama doctor. I like to watch discovery health channel and watch the surgeries and what not.

I've only done a frog, very fun. Disecting rocks! How could you not like it, aspiring? I have never had to do an owl pellet, thank God.

Some people think it's gross. Or unethical.

I feel so behind, I only did owl pellets, 2 frogs, a grasshopper, and an earthworm.

How do you disect a grasshopper? They're so small.

#18

re: Weird things...

Posted: 7/28/04 at 11:15pm

Not all grasshoppers are that small.

It was one huge grasshopper. It was like a grasshopper on steroids and it was disgusting.

We used rubbing alcohol. That smell will always remind me of dead frogs.

One time we had a lot of pig dissections in a closed room. Eventually the smell got so bad we had to go outside. My throat was burning. My worst dissection experience by far.
