The Visible Interactive Bobcat.
This page presents our work on the 3D anatomical structure of
the head and skull of the bobcat, Lynx rufus. Bobcats are
among the few species of native wild cats in North America. The
OHIO Bobcats are the official sports mascot for Ohio
University, and although the species remains endangered in Ohio,
its numbers are recovering. The featured specimen here (OUVC
9576) is the skull of a large, adult bobcat from Athens County,
Ohio, supplied by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. It
was a road kill victim, as evidenced by some skull fractures
visible in the imagery. The
resources on this page are outgrowths of our more technical work
and are intended to serve as STEM educational aids for K-12 and
undergraduate students, as well as for researchers. Work on this
project was done by WitmerLab PhD student Donald Cerio. The skull
was µCT-scanned with a voxel size of 90 µm at the
OUµCT facility. Segmentation of anatomical structures was
done using Avizo; 3D PDFs were generated using Maya, Deep
Exploration, and Adobe Acrobat; and movies were made using
Avizo, QuickTime, and Adobe Premiere. GO BOBCATS!! |
