    This is such remarkable logic lol. I guess the other benefit is that lions are more informative, but i bet they’re more traumatising for kids since they’re closer to human physiology. That said - not a big deal. Face your fears and all that.

    I (UK) did sheep eyeballs and must have missed the frog lesson, or maybe it was reserved for A-level students.

    A medical student i lived with said she had human disecction within the first month of her undergraduate degree. Like the first two weeks. I guess it helps weed people out / lure them in.
