Rolling animation of the skeleton and body of a duckbill platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus; USNM 221110). An entire platypus, a female collected in 1916 and "pickled" in alcohol, was borrowed from the Smithsonian and scanned on a Toshiba Aquillion 64 CT scanner at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, OH. Rendered in Amira and QuickTime by Ryan Ridgely. Also available on our Facebook page: http://snipurl.com/f5q80. Visit http://www.ohio.edu/WitmerLab for more videos like this.
