We removed the heart, lungs, pancreas, stomach, spleen, intestines, kidneys, liver, ovaries, bladder diaphragm and brain (not very perfectly though). The experience was definitely an enriching one. We had a real-life view of what we learned in textbooks. Below are pictures from this extraordinary

This predator-prey (+/-) relationship is particularly interesting as the habitat of these two species does not have a lot of other relationships. For this reason the predator-prey boom-and-bust cycle is especially distinct between the two. The population of
