• The first danish Hereford cow born in 1954 🐮🐂
The old girl is not looking her best at the moment though 😬
Any good advice to rehydrating parts of skin on old taxidermy? 🤓🐮✨

  • Inspired by @amnh - we will show a specimen of a sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) 🐻❤️
.
This specimen is from the Copenhagen Zoo in 1971.
The veterinarian thought the bear had a tooth abscess, and put him under anesthesia to look at it.
But when he opened the mouth of the bear, he could literally pick out the teeth with his fingers... 😬🦷🦷
Turned out the bear suffered from bone cancer - osteosarcoma - and he had to be put down..

  • HELP NEEDED! Does anyone know museums or collections with rinderpest specimens?? 🐮🐮
.
In our collection we have two rinderpest specimens, which will be analyzed as a part of a big research project in Berlin.
They are looking to find other specimens to analyze - so if you know where to find any, please send me a message and I’ll pass on the information 🧑🏻‍🔬🐮🧪✨
.
This picture shows the muzzle from a cow with rinderpest, the specimen is from 1920 and was brought home, from Belgium to Copenhagen, by a veterinary pathology professor.
.
Rinderpest (also cattle plague or steppe murrain) was the main reason why the Veterinary School here in Copenhagen was founded in 1773. It is an infectious viral disease of cattle, domestic buffalo, and many other species of even-toed ungulates.  Death rates during outbreaks were usually extremely high, leaving the affected farmers without livelihood. The disease was definitely eradicated in Denmark in 1782, but in other parts of the world it existed until 2001, where the very last confirmed case of rinderpest was diagnosed.

  • Wax injected arteries on sheep skull from the middle of the 19th century 💉🐑💀✨
This belongs in the anatomy collection and it is very beautiful...and amazing how they were able to make specimens like that almost 200 years ago 😍

  • Beautiful specimen from the pathology collection ❤️
It is a dried heart from foal born without the pulmonary vein - the veins that transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart ❤️🐴🩸
The specimen is from around 1860 🐴✨
.
Have a great weekend ❤️❤️❤️✨

  • This beauty is a great argonaut (Argonauta argo).
It is a species of pelagic octopus 🦑✨
This is a female, which creates a paper-thin eggcase (seen here in the right side of the picture) that could around the octopus much like the way a nautilus lives in its shell.
The specimen is from 1894 ✨

The fetus is 3,5 cm and yes, it’s a very small baby hippopotamus 🦛💕
