Zabulu is now an osteological specimen that students can use to learn about animal anatomy. The 3D models are free to download under a CC Attribution - Non Commercial licence. We thank you for your respectful use of the 3D models. Osteological preparation and digitisation work was completed by a team at Massey University in collaboration with Auckland Zoo. Team members included Odette Howarth, Emma Holvast, Samantha Carruthers, Simone Giovanardi and Daniel Thomas (School of Natural and Computational Sciences). 3D scanning used a Creaform HandyScan Black with VX Elements.
