Key Features of the Diverse Vertebrate Survey Kit:

1. Amphioxus: The kit includes an Amphioxus specimen, which serves as a remarkable representative of the subphylum Cephalochordata. Students and educators can examine its unique anatomy, including the notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits.
2. Lamprey: Explore the lamprey, a jawless fish that offers insights into the early stages of vertebrate evolution. Students can investigate its cartilaginous skeleton and parasitic feeding habits.
3. Dogfish: The Dogfish specimen is a cartilaginous fish, allowing learners to study features like the spiral valve intestine and the unique structure of its gills.
4. Perch: A bony fish, the Perch specimen provides an opportunity to delve into the anatomy of ray-finned fish, including its lateral line system and remarkable adaptability to various aquatic environments.
5. Necturus (salamander): The Necturus specimen represents the world of amphibians, showcasing the distinctive features of salamanders, such as moist, permeable skin and external fertilization.
6. Frog: With the Frog specimen, learners can observe the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life. It’s an excellent subject for studying amphibian adaptations, like powerful hind limbs and vocal sacs.
7. Turtle: Explore the Turtle specimen to understand the reptilian lineage within vertebrates. Characteristics such as the bony shell and anapsid skull can be closely examined.
8. Pigeon: The Pigeon specimen is an avian representative, allowing students to discover avian adaptations, including feathers, beaks, and strong, lightweight bones for flight.
9. Rat: Delve into the realm of mammals with the Rat specimen. Observe the unique mammalian features, including mammary glands, hair, and a four-chambered heart.
