Animals inside out

On Halloween, Daniel and I have "dated" for 10 years. So to celebrate, somewhat, we went to the Perot Museum to see the exhibit "Animals Inside Out". Technically, we went to see a bunch of dead carcasses but it is seriously way cooler than it sounds.




This was a squid. Preserved by the plastication system by this scientist from Germany.


Octopus


Daniel and the skeletal system of an animal.


Ostrich


Sheep. This preservation system he uses even allows the innards to be kept in tact.


This camel's neck was sliced into thirds so you could see all the muscle and bone.


Reindeer.


Filly.


Bull. It's what's for dinner haha.





Pig lung.


Human smokers lung, eww.


It also preserves the capillaries. Here is a dog.


Capillary ostrich.


Giraffe.


Giant giraffe heart.


Now this is where you have to stop and think, "Oh this is a real person who donated his body to science." We saw the last exhibit like this, "Body Worlds" years ago.


Daniel was definitely in his element. I love my biologist!

Afterwards, we saw a 3D film about bugs.


Then as always, lunch at El Fenix downtown.
