Pan sp. - Chimpanzee. DUNUC 2404 & 2404/1. Length=15cm. Acquired by D'Arcy Thompson from William Cross of Liverpool in 1886. Writing to his grandfather, D'Arcy noted: “I yesterday received a chimpanzee, one of the most manlike of apes; it is the rarest and most valuable specimen I have yet had... One of the young Doctors came and helped me to remove its brain at 11 o’clock at night. It was in beautiful condition. I shall be able to make a whole series of preparations besides cleaning the skeleton and stuffing the skin.” The stuffed skin and the brain are also still in the museum.

Muskox skull

This 3D model represents the heart of a rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), created with anatomical accuracy for educational and scientific visualization purposes. The model is designed based on standard mammalian cardiac anatomy and is suitable for use in zoology, veterinary science, biology education, and comparative anatomy studies.

The heart clearly shows its external morphology, including the atrial and ventricular regions, major blood vessels, and overall realistic shape. The surface detailing and proportions are optimized to closely resemble a real rabbit heart while maintaining clarity for learning and demonstration.
