Parrots and Ferrets

Monday was random animals day! Also known as physical exam of exotics...they presented us with tortoises (tortoise restraint: hold the shell). 
Snakes: one student got hold of the python and wouldn't let it go...or maybe vice versa.
Rabbits: if it grinds its teeth that means it likes you? 
Ferrets: What a charming carnivore. I'm glad I don't have one. 
Parrots: cra!-cra!-cra!-cra! for FORTY minutes. My new least favorite animal in the world. 

Then we have Wednesday, formaldehyde day. Our pony cadaver has dwindled to a single leg dangling from the ceiling, though it took a lot of work to get there. Dissection is the art of finding the really delicate bundle of nerves before you cut it...and then cutting it and moving on.
