Oh, and of course, this was the inspiration for this.

That last shot of the stone stela coming out of the water. Wow. I was expecting it to be covered with sediments and other sea life stuff, but no! It’s pristine looking!

Here I am assisting in skinning a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) with mammal prep staff at the Chicago Field Museum back in April.  We made bets on how much we thought this large male weighed - estimates were anywhere from 52-78lbs.  Actual weight was 82lbs (37kg), if I remember correctly.  The mammal prep lab manager, Anna, did the majority of the work on this specimen, but was nice enough to let me jump in at the end and help out. Bottom picture is me cutting around the gonads.  

Before you ask - I’m not wearing gloves because in many circumstances it’s arguably safer.  It allows you to get a much better grip on the specimen, which gives you more control over your instruments and the specimen, and no, I’m not really concerned with contracting some kind of awful disease if I had accidentally cut myself.  Wearing gloves and similar precautions are taken more seriously when dealing with primate specimens.  I’m not saying that it’s always advisable to go in bare-handed, just that some institutions approach procedures differently.
