Te Papa's Blog

Hi this is Anton blogging in on Emma’s blog. At the moment we are taking lots and lots of photos. Documenting animals in this way allows us to have landmarks on the outside of the animal that we can link to internal structures. So that we can build up a picture of how the insides relate to the outside. We also do this to be able to make comparisons with future animals. For instance if we were to get a larger animal of this species we could show how things change (or don’t change) relative to size.
