Draper Natural History Museum Partners With Game And Fish For Its Collection

3:57
Early one morning, eight volunteers surrounded a table with a 400 pound grizzly bear carcass in its center. Draper Natural History Museum Assistant curator Corey Anco said they are defleshing the animal.
"They are removing all of the meat around the bones, all the meat around the ribs, all the meat around the vertebrae," said Anco. "And they're trying to get this as clean as we can reasonably so."
Anco said once the bones are cleaned as well as possible without hurting them, the bones are then given to flesh eating beetles.
"They will then clean those bones to the best of their ability," he said. "And they do a remarkable job with minimal or no damage at all to the skeletons as opposed to boiling it, which can really kind of break down the integrity of the skeleton."
