Pickled newts (warning graphic pictures)

Found myself at a surgical museum this week (Hunterian Museum: Hunterian Museum; The Royal College of Surgeons of England), and while I walked around with a pretty disgusted face I took a few pictures that I thought some of you may find interesting. Unfortunately the pictures were taken on my phone, so have not come out very well, however I shall post them anyway (the poor quality may also help the contents of your stomach stay put).

Information provided:
3267: A female great-crested newt dissected to show the ovaries laden with mature ova.
3268: A female newt dissected to show the ovaries after the release of the ova.
3269: A young newt approaching adulthood.
3296: A female spotted salamander dissected to show the left side of the oviduct during pregnancy.
3297: A female spotted salamander with the ventral abdomen dissected to show the ovaries and impregnated oviducts in situ.

takes me right back to school when the teachers wanted you to dissect things urgghhhhh :errr:could never do it thankfully you had the option not to!!!

Still interesting piccies thanks for sharing!
