Why it exists
[Founder story, two or three sentences: who started Vetomica, what they saw in the dissection lab or the consult room, and why they decided to build this.]
What we set out to make is simple to say: four complete animals, 5,965 named structures, every fact sourced, open in a browser, and free for every student to learn from.

How the atlas is made
The animals are licensed three-dimensional models. We split each one into its separate structures, name every piece against the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria, and attach its facts: what we measure on the model, and what we quote from veterinary anatomy texts, each labelled as such.
What we hold to
- The animal is the subject.
- The interface serves the model and gets out of its way.
- Every fact shows where it came from.
- Measured on this specimen, or quoted from a named book.
- Say what is not there.
- Where the model stops, the screen says so in plain words.
- Readable at arm's length.
- Anything shown in a consult has to make sense to someone who is not a vet.
- Depth on demand.
- A student can go as deep as the data allows without the clinician having to wade through it.
