A handful of snakes, pulled from a bucket in NSM Zoology wet collections. The wet collection in a museum context refers to biological specimens, like animals or plants, preserved in liquid - such as ethanol. Thanks to Dr. Brenna Frasier, Senior Curator Zoology, for these posts.
Show PostPreserved American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) skin. This is a very unique method of specimen preservation where a frog or snakes’ skin is removed and preserved dried on paper, much like a herbarium plant specimen. Find out more: www.nbm-mnb.ca/en/2019/09/1...
Show PostA mummified squirrel in nest. On close view the skin is wonderfully preserved, and hair follicles can be observed. We're sharing more spooky specimens and stories from the Nova Scotia Museum collection throughout the day. Thanks to Dr. Brenna Frasier, Senior Curator Zoology, for these posts.
Show PostMummified cat and mouse. I guess neither of them won. We're sharing more spooky specimens and stories from the Nova Scotia Museum collection throughout the day, so stay tuned for more Halloween-inspired posts. Thanks to Dr. Brenna Frasier, Senior Curator Zoology, for these posts.
