Frog Mummies | Parent Comments | Reflections | Bibliography
We felt very grossed out at first during the frog mummification! First we had to let them freeze until they died. Now they were ready for dissection, the most disgusting part of all. It was weird feeling the blood and guts while we took them out. My friend forgot to leave the heart in. To speed up the drying process we put the frogs in salt to remove the moisture. Then we let them dry over the holidays.

After one month we took them out of the salt, the skin felt very cold and hard. We put delicious smelling spices inside them and wrapped them in gauze. Then we had to dig holes in the ground for their tombs.
