Notes: This robust old captive male specimen shows a necropsy cut to the cranium. A necropsy is essentially an animal autopsy. The body of a deceased individual is examined in an attempt to determine the cause of death. The necropsy cut was made to allow access to the brain, which would have been examined for abnormalities such as tumors or neurodegenerative disease.
