SAMAR Frog Dissection

Last Saturday, the SJS SAMAR club organized a frog dissection session. We managed to procure two frogs for the dissection. Quite a number of people attended the session, and some curious heads popped in to have a look. Before you continue down for the pics, a disclaimer, just in case some wiseguy decides to sue.

DISCLAIMER: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED AND PREGNANT WOMEN! THIS DISSECTION IS FOR SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES ONLY, AND NOT TO GLORIFY VIOLENCE!

That aside, here are the pictures.


So many of the critters.


Our two test subjects.


Hmm, nothing like impending doom to make one think of one's life.


This one's gone stiff from the chloroform.


Nail 'em hard, and nail 'em deep.


Let's start the dissection!


Pinning open the skin. Heh, even frogs have six-packs.

Ah, frog guts.


Beginning gut-removal process.


One gutted frog.


Frog guts.


Frog eyeball.


Oh look! A whole jar full of preserved frogs!


The dead truly can't see.


Headless, and gutless.

Overall, it was a very fun experience, despite both frogs being female; thus, we weren't able to see frog balls. For the record, nobody threw up, or felt sick(except maybe Adam, who dropped by for a look).
