well I was very interested...mostly in how mystifyingly bogus this was. "Pickled" bats are almost never skeletonized...if one's goal is a bat skeleton, you dump a freshly dead non-preserved bat into the dermestid beetle larvae. Once a bat is pickled, the meat is much harder to remove with dissecting tools and the bugs ain't gonna touch a bat body full of preservatives, even if one has painstakingly picked/cut/pulled most of the meat off beforehand. And the comment about 'good science' being messy...this aint science, its tech work ------------------------------ List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2012 23:47:42 -0700 Subject: Fwd: [SWR] anatomy of a bat From: lstarr...@gmail.com To: donna_jhow...@hotmail.com Donna, Thought you'd be interested.
