Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective."
Diane's favorite "casting character of all time wasn't
dead, famous, or even human. In March 1997 , the
National Zoo in Washington , D.C., asked her to make
casts of the paw and tongue of a living tiger for an
exhibit. Tiger paws have sharp claws, and the tongue
is sandwiched between four long, meat-ripping canine
teeth. But Diane wasn't worried about her safety,since
the big cat would be tranquilized. She was more
worried about the tiger.She didn't want to harm the
animal in any way.She didn't know-yet-how to cast
the body part of a living animal, especially one so large
and __ predatory.
