Museum life

Working at a Natural History Museum, you can never let your guard down. Even at our building, it's not uncommon to walk into your lab and find that it has been taken over by a large, stinky blue whale skeleton. Here in Thailand it appears to be no different.

This morning I came to work and entered via the back entrance as usual, only to find 5 staff members outside dissecting a large head of a very dead wild cow! This thing's head was huge! And they were going at it with small scalpels, cutting off chunks of its face, flipping the tongue back and forth, etc. I stood and watched for a while, then decided that I had to get my camera and take a few pictures. Enjoy!
