      Hiya xXRhysXx,

      I like it, but I definitely wouldn’t say that I love dissecting dead animals! But I think I got used to it and when the animals are fresh, they don’t even smell that bad! Dissecting fish especially is quite good because you can find out so much more than just by looking at their outer appearance. I have found the weirdest parasites in some of my fish, and when I look at the stomach I can figure out what its last meal was. On Monday I had a flat fish that had 43 crabs in its stomach!
