Dead rat.. can I use it?

i wouldnt use it just incase there is something wrong with it

Pics of the autopsy might require some warnings, but those would be cool. I used to hate that stuff in high school, but now I have this insatiable, morbid curiosity. Let us know your results. :D

lol.. yeah I'll put warnings. :D

I always loved dissecting stuff. Dissected a shark once.. that was cool.

(the following may disturb some)

Worst was.. when I was younger (ag stupid) I tried drowning a bullfrog that I wanted to dissect. I shouldn't say 'I', my cousin was in on it too.

So we stuck the poor frog underwater for about.. oh an hour. Took it out, it was floppy and lifeless.

We thought.

Wasn't until after we had the skin pulled back and pinned down.. had the stomach out ('ooh look at what he ate!') etc etc... that we saw the heart beating!

I took a brick and smashed his head three times. Whew.. he's finally dead.

I thought.

We continued dissecting this frog (albeit cringing at every cut) Then it TWITCHED!

I finally did kill it.

Aghh.... horrible horrible horrible.

omg thats so sad!!!

Oh my and bleh.

The following is my dissection story so continue reading at your own risk.....
We had to dissect a frog in college, and the TA just couldn't seem to pith (sp?) it correctly. We were supposed to be observing the nervous system but apparently it was still a little too sensitive. When touched with the metal probe, the headless frog jumps out of the tray. :eek: After the third time we were too nervous to approach the silly thing. :rolleyes:

i dont know about the feeding thing but in any case could u dissect it and take lots o pics?

Geesh I guess I am a real weenie LOL. I got kicked out of senior biology because I flat out refused to dissect an unborn piglet! I offered to monitor and take notes but refused to do the actual dissection.....apparently this ticks off biology teachers LOL. Oh well....I've gotten to age 44 w/o any real need to dissect unborn piglets so I guess I turned out okay :P

I dissected a squid in jr high, then we had kalamarie (sp) in my class. But in hs biology they required not only that we dissect a fetal pig, but a feral cat as well, I refused to take that class on principle alone. So I ended up with two years of Chemistry to fulfill the h.s. science requirements.

Now I have no problems. If something is already dead, but still refuse to kill something just to see it's insides, waste of life to me.

I don't think it is a waste because you can learn so much from seeing how the body works.

I think it'd be facinating to dissect a fetal pig.

Oh, and calamari is tasty stuff. yum.
