To produce specimens for a "Body Worlds" exhibition, von Hagens employs 340 people at five laboratories in four different countries. Each laboratory is categorized by speciality, with the China laboratory focusing on animal specimens. The giraffe which appeared in "Body Worlds 3 &amp; The Story of the Heart" was one of the most difficult specimens to create. The giraffe took three years to complete10 times longer than it takes to prepare a human body. Ten people were required to move the giraffe because its final weight, like all specimens after plastination, was equal to its original.
