He took just one example out of that preserving bottle filled to the brim. Mmmhh, yumm..On that white tray it looked like he's providing us with some guidance how to gut and fillet an exotic, sushi-like meal. Those ants do the job all right, though.
What a cute thorax bats are configured with.
With all that glue the final result almost looks like a model kit.
Gosh, I wonder how many bugs they need to clear dinosaur bones...
Thank you for sharing Mr.Gurney, .. Bat anatomy can be extremely tricky to figure out at first, this video is great reference!
I just happen to have a bat in my freezer, so this was a good push in the right direction. I´ll have to train on a mouse or something first though, because I heard that bat bones are really fragile.
Thank you for a very inspiring blog! :)
