I was taught to use the middle of a feather for mice tails, as they have a thicker base and go thinner to the top. Just like the tail. We had several feathers and chose one specific to our animal for the perfect fit.
Adore this channel, soooooo goooood!!!!! Disagree on the "jump out of a airplane once" thing. Solo static, climb out on to the wheels hold for jump master thumbs up then let go. Tandem, shuffle to door then pushed. Paratrooper walk forward to the washing machine of the side door. Paratrooper rear ramp sweet bliss.
One of the great things about this channel is that it shows you what some of the the processes and the careers of science actually look like. No actors in costumes and dramatically lit labs, but regular people working together, laughing, and learning while expanding to the body of human knowledge!
Fun/horrifying fact: rat tails can get schlooped while they're alive. It's called degloving. It works as a survival mechanism if they get caught by the tail by a predator, or they get their tail caught somewhere. It's also why you should never lift rats by the tail.
i dunno if its a survival mechanism or just a really common injury. granted there is the spiny rat that has its tail skin sorta designed to rip off like that
Extra fun/horrifying fact: degloving is a thing that can happen to humans too, but it's our fingers rather than our tails. Don't wear your wedding ring while working with mechanical equipment.
Oh rats definitely have "outside" testicles. You look at a rat older than four weeks and you'll know. There's a reason rats shown in media are almost always females 😭
But it's OUR weird corner of the internet! I was so psyched to see that a new dissection video from Emily was in my notifications! You have this perfect way of making something that, from someone else, would be gross and unapproachable, and making it not just fascinating, but so fun! I had not realized just how much I missed these until I heard the grossometer tripping to high. And this particular video has such a varied and sweet cast, too!
Just wanted to say I introduced my niece to this channel ages ago, and now she's about to start another semester studying for a vet-med degree. Her reaction to the first video was morbid curiosity. Her reaction to this one was a nonchalant shrug because it's no longer anything she hasn't already done herself. 🤣
Joy Riedenburg, the comparative anatomist from inside nature's giants, is still fairly active on social media. Might be worth giving her a bell some time and see if she'd be up for an episode some time?
As gross as i think dissection is, I'm still here for this, #1. Because it's @thebrainscoop and #2. bc the first thing I ever saw by Emily was the wolf dissection stream, so nostalgia
The chemistry between you guys was so good, I texted my SO that a rat dissection looked like it would be a fun date idea and she was like "for other people, right?"
This is so exciting to see another dissection/taxidermy video!! I’ve been waiting on part 2 of the rats, how fun to have a whole panel of guests for it! I watched this channel a lot when getting my biology degree. My love for what you do was a huge factor in skinning my beloved, late cat myself earlier this year. There’s such love for animals and the experiences with them (dead or alive), thank you for your time and dedication, Emily!!
I watched your original squirrel dissection videos in high school and they fundamentally changed the trajectory of my life :) I now work in collections management at several museums and am listening to this while preparing a conference talk. Unfortunately I don't make too many skins now, but they are a great deal of fun! We once found 3 ground squirrel feet, a vole jaw, and half of a fence lizard in a bobcat's stomach contents. Hope to maybe see you around in a collection someday!
Came here from Becky Stern's channel. Wasn't expecting much but this was really thorough and I learned a lot. Everyone was very entertaining but especially Rob. Good of him to be such a good sport.
@@thebrainscoop I think my comments are being eaten by the filter, but I linked my stuff! 😅 PS: I'm now going to call doing the tail part of a rat "shlooping," thank you! ✨
What a fantastic and educational video! I study biology but my university is stingy when it comes to biological stuff, so seeing such a detailed taxidermy closeup, step by step is really cool. I would love to try this, if I get my hands on a good specimen :D. I hope you are going to taxidermy also other types of animals, like birds or reptiles! Im glad that you guys are back on youtube!
YIPPEE MORE BRAIN SCOOP DISSECTIONS!!! i remember rewatching the wolf series a million times as a teenager and being enraptured by all the dissections with anna. im popping the biggest bottles rn.
I've been watching you for at least 10 years. I grew up watching my grandad doing surgery on cats and dogs. Whenever I watch your videos it always brings back the same feeling of curiosity and interest that I felt as a kid.
A CROSSOVER I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED!!! Loved both your channels for a while now, and it's so fun to see a total newbie trying taxidermy. Also Emily I continue to be in love with your enthusiasm for science. Proud Patreon supporter from early on!!
!!!!! °o° I LOVE this guys bee tattoos! look at his left arm being full of lovely bees from cute scribbles to cute mascot-level detail. I also always love Emilys clothes and accessory of bugs and i am a guy who bought the same shirt 7 times, same jeans 3 times and wear the same bland outfit for years because i see no point in fashion...but these folks I admire and applaud.
Love this video and the amazing people you had on, would be amazing if you collabed with them again or just other creators! Been watching your channel for a long time and I'm glad to see you return to making more content!
What an amazing video, thank you so much for sharing it with us! (more of these in the future? :) ) Also, @44:33 "How does that goop tell it where the cheese is?" (Rob referring to the rat brain) was so inadvertently metaphoric and deep hahaha
I remember watching the alligator dissection live on my second monitor at work and getting weird glances from my coworkers, this brought me back to that 😌
I volunteered at my university's natural history museum in the prep lab and after taking samples from a project with so many voles and mice I loved the occasional rat. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND THE GALLBLADDER ON A VOLE
ROB SCALLON AND BRAIN SCOOP?! My musician, taxidermy-loving heart is so hyped. And also kinda sad because I'd LOVE to be there myself lmao doing my first skinning/taxidermy ;-; Rob literally living my dream ;A; Emily and I are kindred spirits. But I also happen to be a fan of vore so there's that too lmfao 19:55 Definitely my favourite part LOL 20:30 Oh my god the rat is still squeaking LOL 24:00 Ugh as one who has intestines popping out of his body cavity currently, I'm not to excited about that lmfao "He's cute looking like he's slurping on his own skin" :100: Oh my god the end was perfect. I really needed that laugh. Thank you XD

I'm a Patron now! Yay!
I run a small pest control company just outside of Chicago with my beagle Buster, and we would like to help any way we can..
Thank you so much for having me on the show :)
"Rob Scallon?!? 😵"
Rob this takes Rat and its tones to a whole different place bahahahahaha. How did you even get here?????
oh poor rob, hope it didn't end too unpleasantly
"I promise you I will try my best--" to not puke. 🌋🤣🎸
I'm trying to figure out how you're going to integrate this into your videos?
Isn't there a "rat" pedal? Maybe it needs some customizing...

rob dropping the fact he used to have rats at the worst possible moment 💀
Everything that came after makes perfect sense
I feel like the rats would understand, because they too are curious and like to explore with friends
I’m a simple man, I see a Brain Scoop dissection video, I click like.
Also always nice to see Emily back!
I really miss the dissection videos. So happy to see it again! :)
Absolutely! My heart soared when I saw the gross-o-meter! ❤❤🐀

@@gildedbear5355 and dont slam dunk the metal hoop
Hearing the sound of the Warning and the Grossometer took me back to ≤ 2018 and I thank you for that.
We are back dissecting and we have Rob here again??? First time this timeline hasn’t disappointed me in so so so long!
Oh rats definitely have "outside" testicles. You look at a rat older than four weeks and you'll know. There's a reason rats shown in media are almost always females 😭
Guinea pigs have outsiders,but when stressed they can hitch them right in.

The unadulte(rat)ed intersections of wildlife forensic science, life science, preservational craftsmanship, and endearing whimsy-magical.

Emily saying "I could get your whole face off" and genuinely meaning it - just one more great reason to support on Patreon!
We are so back!
Me: i want the brainscoop back
*the brainscoop comes back*
Me: why do i watch this
Brat summer is OUT.
RAT summer is IN
The perfect combination between a stuffed animal and a mummy? Sounds awesome!
The chemistry between you guys was so good, I texted my SO that a rat dissection looked like it would be a fun date idea and she was like "for other people, right?"
Okay, but you're kinda right.
Rob would be great as a regular on the show, since he is entertaining, and he is good as an audience stand in.

It’s like seeing an old friend after a few years apart 😂 I missed dissection chaos Emily!
I was just thinking about starting again from the beginning with the Hank Green, and the wolf videos and up popped this video! Yay!
Yes! I just did my first taxidermy class and I really need some knowledge on skinning. Emily 's energy for this is on point XD
So so happy for a new dissection, they are my favorite kind of Brain Scoop videos! Rob and Becky were hilarious, I loved their inclusion!

I love this episode! I love the schlooping, and I did try to do a rat taxidermy once after a rat dissection! I failed the schlooping though...
Emily - I loved this so much! Back to taxidermy and your viral enthusiasm! So glad the brainscoop is back!!!!
I am THRILLED. I loved the dissection videos years ago and always dreamed of there being more one day ! Yay !
Just started this video... as a rat taxidermy diorama maker, I'm excited to watch! 😁❤
Omg, link your work!! I need inspo!
@@thebrainscoop I think my comments are being eaten by the filter, but I linked my stuff! 😅
PS: I'm now going to call doing the tail part of a rat "shlooping," thank you! ✨
That closing shot is just gold XD
We're scooping again! Keep it up y'all rock 🎉
Getting into a big animal to show people the parts makes me think of some of the Magic School Bus episodes.
What a fantastic and educational video! I study biology but my university is stingy when it comes to biological stuff, so seeing such a detailed taxidermy closeup, step by step is really cool.

omg. The happyness to have the grossometer back after these years is such a good feeling. Thanks Emily
I was at the Nature Museum when y'all were filming! So exciting to finally see the video come out 😁
Fantastic. reminds me of middle and high school when we did dissections in science class, but more in-depth.
You could make this into the strangest best podcast ever. Fantastic pause at the end. Thank you.
These are always such a good time [I say, thankful that there is no smell-o-vision].
The Grossometer is back!!!
I cannot tell you how happy I am that you get to continue your awesome content with the 'old' bits and bops I grew to love.
A CROSSOVER I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED!!! Loved both your channels for a while now, and it's so fun to see a total newbie trying taxidermy. Also Emily I continue to be in love with your enthusiasm for science. Proud Patreon supporter from early on!!
The last screenshot right before the hurl was PERFECT HAHAHA
this kinds of episodes are so much fun to watch and very informative! Love 'em
I related so much when Emily asked “are WE the weird ones?!” Because I’d love to do this as a career. It’s such an important part of Science.
Calling the tail schlooping “not dainty” led to my brain for some reason thinking “tail schlooping… not very demure~ not very cutesy~”
Happy to see you are still kicking
OK, what does it say about me that I'm watching this while eating my lunch?
got some snacks enjoy the show🥳🎉
The snapping of the ankle bone at 13:43 legit just sounds like me cracking my knuckles. XD
I liked how casual this video felt. Y’all did a wonderful job!

Yay! Love a good dissection!
That freeze-frame ending was hilarious!
ahhh back to our roots, i couldnt be happier. this channel led me to finding "Inside Nature's Giants" a few years ago so i loved the reference
i missed these videos so much love you brain scoop!
I love you too!!!!
@@thebrainscoop Ah! I’ve been obsessed with you since I was a little kid thanks sm for responding!
I'm so happy you brought back dissections! I love going back and rewatching the wolf dissection and hosenose. I hope there are more in the future!
I am going to cry of nostalgia Emily, thanks
Okay, if you'd asked me what YT crossover I'd be most excited about a week ago, this is not what I would have said, and yet here we are. 🎉
Love this video and the amazing people you had on, would be amazing if you collabed with them again or just other creators! Been watching your channel for a long time and I'm glad to see you return to making more content!
oh, memories! I had a college bio lab and I chose to dissect a pigeon instead but I helped with someone's rat.
lots of great things in this video and i wanna shout out the editing, especially the last few minutes!
What an amazing video, thank you so much for sharing it with us! (more of these in the future? :) )
Also, @44:33 "How does that goop tell it where the cheese is?" (Rob referring to the rat brain) was so inadvertently metaphoric and deep hahaha
Great to watch you again.
triumphant return of the gross-o-meter!
sometimes Rob gives a look to the camera that is right out of the office
The sheer spectrum of reactions is fantastic! Great job team xD
Inside Natures Giants is forever GOAT'd.
Glad you have the superchat options! Keep up the great work.
I remember watching the alligator dissection live on my second monitor at work and getting weird glances from my coworkers, this brought me back to that 😌
commenting for the algorithm because we love a good rat dissection round here
I volunteered at my university's natural history museum in the prep lab and after taking samples from a project with so many voles and mice I loved the occasional rat. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND THE GALLBLADDER ON A VOLE
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
41:45 - I can't unsee that and can't stop laughing!
Thanks for the laughs!
Please do a "meaty machines" rob x brainscoop metal tee
I need some Emily Graslie/Brain Scoop merch apparel!
Finally I can get back to eating while watching CZcams and blast some honest to go.. erm, death metal in the background.
That last frame was GOLD! Hilarious and informative
I love the collab with @robscallon !
I was obsessed with inside giants! I even emailed the whale biologist and she wrote me the nicest reply!
Yeah! Dissections are back! I'm so happy
This was so interesting! I love all of your videos.
The Good Stuff! That was such a good show.
Rob is like me when I’m in voice chat with my friends and they’re all talking about Batman. Idk what they’re on about but I’m mostly happy to be there
I was NOT expecting to see Rob. What a great surprise.
Classic brainscoop episode! Love it!
Poor Rob had such a hard time with the brains! I couldn’t stop laughing.
"We're the weird ones" T-shirt please?
_Classic_ Brain Scoop! Lovely to have it back.

24:00 Ugh as one who has intestines popping out of his body cavity currently, I'm not to excited about that lmfao
"He's cute looking like he's slurping on his own skin" :100:
Oh my god the end was perfect. I really needed that laugh. Thank you XD
This episode was fantabulous!
Ok, but 'stuffed animal mummies' sounds right up my alley.
I loved this whole video, but I couldn’t make it through the brain scoop part 😄
More power to you!
"Now you know how to fix it!" 🤣🤣
So happy to see this today! As always, your enthusiasm is infectious! Loved it!
Just saw this, and as a fellow Chicagoan, knew I wanted to get involved. Just asked about volunteer opportunities working with their collections!
