This week in science i dissected a mouse. its way different than dissecting a cricket because the cricket has a hard exoskeleton and not much organs. the mouse on the other hand, has soft skin and a lot more insides. also the mouse doesn't have bone it has cartilage that takes the place of that. thats an adaptation so it can go through tight spaces with ease and not break anything.
I learned that from all the jumping they do, frog's leg muscles r huge compared to the rest of there body. but deep inside all that muscle there leg bones are as thing as tooth picks. also its skin isn't so easy to cut. even though they looked slimy and squirmy they're actually rough. Also i learned that you can tell weather the frog is male or female by just looking at their thumbs. the aha moment i had was that i cute straight through the brain of a mouse without even realizing it.
