Mouse meat! :)
But mice are really not best objects for mammal dissection.
Rats are easier and more fun to mess with, having much larger organs, and are not so expensive (comparing to more valuable critters such as guinea pigs, rabbits, cats etc)
Those wax trays... such an old tradition, but still handy!

How those mice were killed, chlorophorm euthanasia or what? Because a stressed mouse will relax its bladder before death.

Here comes the yoga frog! Dissected in November 2010 (sadly I didn't take pics of process itself).
As you may see, the wooden boards are used.
At my university, wax trays are for invertebrates - those ones really need to lay still, or some organs would be damaged before becoming fully visible.

Only dissection my Biology teacher Mr Butt's let us do is a pig heart and lung dissection, and we won't be doing any more because most people couldn't stomach it. I found it fine, but most people ran out of class sick.

Consider yourself lucky DM :P I've always wanted to do an animal dissection.

That's cool! My school only let us do pig's heart dissection. Wanna try whole animal body as well, but I think I have to wait for university.

at my school we never had to dissect something :(

But luckily I have all the fishes we eat to dissect, and I actually love to see what I can find in their stomach.
I could tell you a very accurate report on the diet of the European seabass here, based on years o observation of stomach conent.
And, there was this time I saw fallow deers and wild boars being eviscerated after the hunt.

We dissect frogs and mice. Oh, and one time we had to dissect a cricket's testicles.
Of course, we had to be given a female cricket .___.

Never dissected a mice, looks really interesting though.

We had to cut open fish, chickens and rabbits. The frogs we had to dissect through a computer program. (The Belgian law forbits dissecting real frogs when it comes to school purposes)

Precisely why we couldn't find said testicles.
It got replaced though.

Anyone wanna see the dissection of the following animals?
Though it won't be a full dissection because I will not damage the bones (skull, ribcage). Also animals are frozen & thawed out so their tissues are slightly different from fresh ones.
-cats
-dogs
-snakes
-hedgehogs
-chickens (fresh)
-big fat butterflies (fresh)
-giant cockroaches (fresh)
-naked ape when I'll found one unwanted :)
