Travel Laguna: The Anatomy Museum in UPLB

As continuation from my trip to Museum of National History, a week later we went to The Anatomy Museum of College of Veterinary Medicine in U.P. Los Banos.

It's actually my first time to visit the place so I'm really curious about what the place has to offer.

So they also have stuffed animals...

And also stuffed reptiles...

Skeletons of animals on display: Horses, tigers, goat, dog, carabao, whale, etc.

This is the human brain (as labeled) and not the one in the Museum of National History that got ruined.

Other kinds of brains:

Other animal parts are also carefully stored and preserved to be put on display.

The Anatomy Museum also houses animal fetuses such as:

Below is a photo of  the fetus and placenta of a horse. It looks like the fetus is smiling.

A popular section of the museum is the Teratology section where they show animal birth defects and abnormalities. This has been featured in local TV documentary.

This is a pig with one eye:

Twin babies joint at the center (below):

This is a one eyed cow...scary looking and located at the center of the skeleton display.

They also preserved dissected parts of animals for research and study purposes of VetMed students: 

Some skulls they painted and color-coordinated to help VetMed students identify parts of the skull, like this one:

This is what the museum looks like from the opposite side of the room.
