In search of roadkill

Ms Mary-Ruth Low, a Research Assistant at NUS, is studying how many reptiles and amphibians die here due to vehicle collisions. If she comes across a rare species, she will hand it over to the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at NUS for research purposes, and some of the animal carcasses are turned into research specimens in their afterlife.
