My first animal was a road kill squirrel that had been squished in front of my house. My observations were grim. He had so much weird stuff in him, he looked like mostly assemblages. So then I figured I go out back and get some earth worms since they have red blood cells, but when I dug them up they were very small and sickly looking, green and not red/brown, and large white growths clearly visible under the skin. I didn't try to examine any more animals after that.
On the animals....
