It is highly suggested that major editing be done on all referencing of resources used this site. I know it will be a huge undertaking, but if we are to teach our students science by doing science, they should constantly see scientific writing at its best when asked to use the Web, or any LO, as a resource.

This site is a bit hard to navigate, but I did find the Mammal Anatomy collection to be very useful. There are sections which include great images of skulls, different types of teeth, and a section on cursorial locomotion. Much of this material would be of use in a Vertebrate Anatomy course.
