Animal Biology practical ROUND 1

Last year we did practical on dissecting. but don't worry, we biotech student DID NOT dissect on LIFE rabbit. In fact  we dissected a rabbit's CARCASS which have been dead because of illnesses.We need to get the bones and our assessment was to assemble the bones into a model. It was a very messy job and it took a lot of time to get the job done. but it was fun tho'. but there was also a fun spoiler.. he he.. yes, the SMELL. ha ha...it was so smelly that we had to put ointment on our nose. fuhhhh imagine that the rabbit we dissected was already dead between 2-3 months old.. Dr.Liew,our animal biology tutor, have been preserving the carcass for us in his lab freezer.. and when he defrost it, imagine the smell. hahaha. you gotta have a strong heart to do the practical.

okay, this is the part where we skinned the rabbit. we've got a female  rabbit in our hands. so before the skinning began, we observed the carcass, and learn how does a female rabbit looks like and etc. and after awhile, starts the skinning process, we cut the rabbit's ligaments 1st, as it would make it more easy and as easy as pulling a shirt off. he he i'm not kidding.

This is the part where Dr.Liew taught us about what is what, and how the organs looks like.

This is our's, skinned perfectly and ready to get the organs out.

A photo of the organs which we got the chance to see in more details. it was super awesome! and by thoroughly observing the organs,we  also found out  the possibilities of how our rabbit died.

This was the part where we finished cleaning out the organs out of the  carcass. looks a bit clean right? and the meat looked like chicken kan? hu hu




Soooo by mid day,we finished round 1 of the practical. we stopped to take our lunch, and guess what we had for lunch on that  day? boiled chicken soup, the chickens were half cooked and  reminded us of the rabbit on the last photo..we loss our appetite lah., diet for the day. hahaha
