Join Ben Garrod from the University of East Anglia, and veterinary surgeon Jess French for a very special afternoon at the Ri, with a unique opportunity to find out about the workings of the body at a lion dissection.
Across the course of the event, Ben and Jess will dissect the animal in our Theatre, explaining the anatomy as they go, and revealing the fascinating facts it can tell us about our own bodies. During an extended interval, you'll have the opportunity to explore hands-on demonstrations and activities to learn even more about how animal biology works.
This event is open to all ages. Ben and Jess are very experienced in presenting this to a younger audience, as well as adults, and we encourage everyone to attend. Attendees will be able to come and go as they please if they require a break during the long sessions. Those who are particularly squeamish may choose to sit further back in the Theatre.
Event timings:
1:00pm – 2:30pm – Dissection Session 1
2:30pm – 3:45pm – Interval with pop-up activities
3:45pm – 5:00pm – Dissection Session 2
Disclaimer: The animal died of old age and has been donated for the purpose of education. The specific animal is subject to change.
