So today in our Vertebrate Biology class, we got to dissect some ducks! I was able to grab the best duck (a beautiful adult male wood duck). I couldn't help but pluck a few of his nicer feathers to add to my collection that I've started. Too bad a lot of them were covered in blood already.
Here he is! With his neck all broken...
Look at those colours!
Here's a better picture of his head.
The aftermath. (SORRY FOR THE GORE)
It's a pity he couldn't have been mounted or anything :( Ah well. Thanks to him, I understand the anatomy of birds and ducks. Thank you wood duck!
That's the most graphic thing I have ever seen! Pretty though too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should have figured out a way to hide that last pic and had only people who were OK with gore click on it.
ReplyDeleteHaha can you imagine the smell of the room?
