You haven't read the script where it's clearly explained -- the animals
dissected had almost no internal organs because they were created
by Morbius, a philologist (not a medical doctor or biologist) and they
only outwardly resembled the corresponding Earth creatures.

This is where the extras on the DVD fail miserably (compared to the
Criterion laserdisc and the screenplay); too much time and space on
the DVD is wasted with TV shows and other movies having nothing
whatsoever to do with Forbidden Planet and also wasted interviewing
people (Muren, Spielberg, et al) who had nothing to do with the movie.


Looks like you haven't done your homework.
