9th January 2013: Inside the Zoology Lab in the University of Alcalá de Henares (Spain)

Posted on by

The biology building in the University of Alcalá de Henares has a small collection of Zoology and Anthropology specimens. For a number of reasons, I was invited to see it, even if it is usually only opened to researchers. Taking pictures in the Gallery Collection was not allowed, but it was all right in the laboratory where they prepare and preserve the bones. Or I was sneaky. Take your pick ☆⌒(ゝ。∂)
