Lizard Specimen - Anolis, Plain

This plain preserved anolis (lizard) specimen is large enough to see all the internal organs and external structures. It is great for a dissection lab experience at a low cost. Whether in an elementary school, middle school, high school, or college biology lab, lizard dissections give students memorable life science experiences. Dissections are wonderful hands-on activities for teaching biology and environmental science in the home and science classroom.

Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced with water, and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.
