Frog Skeleton

This week we are looking at the skeletal dissection of a frog. It is part of a collection of comparative anatomy put together by John Struthers (1823-1899), Scottish zoologist and anatomist. At one time, the museum held a whole array of animals, from a tiger skeleton and a dolphin skull, to the pulmonary vein of a whale and the skin of a porcupine fish. Much of what we do have will be featured in the new displays that open in September.
