This extra-large preserved frog specimen has a body length of 4.5" to 5.5" and is an excellent dissection specimen. Arteries are injected with red latex and veins are injected with blue latex to easily trace the vascular system.
The large size and injected vessels of this preserved grass frog specimen make it a superior amphibian for frog dissections. The internal organs, organ systems, and external structures on this vertebrate are easy to locate and identify, and the genus of this grass frog is typically Rana forreri.
Whether in a middle school, high school, or college biology class, dissection labs give students memorable life science experiences and are wonderful first-time dissection specimens. Dissecting a frog is a great hands-on activity for teaching biology and environmental science in the home and science classroom.
Find scalpels, dissecting pans, and all of the essential dissecting tools to begin your hands-on exploration of frog anatomy!
Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde preservative solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
Important Notice: For orders of 10 or more, there is a chance these specimens could be shipped in a 10-pack. If you require specimens to be individually packaged, please contact our customer service at (406) 256-0990.
