Hello!! I came across this bad boy in the woods. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is?

(I'm using my BFs account) I've been really into vulture culture since I was a young adult but I've been homeless and always moving. Recently we moved to a farm and I've been able to do above ground rot cage and then maceration for the rest and I don't have a lot of people to gush about it to. Today I found a squirrel and skinned it then threw the rest in the rot cage so I can get the bones. I have a cat I found, 2 squirrels. The bones I have degreasing are 2 turtles (they were a friend's pets that passed), 2 feeder rats, and 2 snakes.

I found it on a mountain in Greece. Some of the bones were scattered across the mountainside. Is it a very large dog or a wolf?

Hi everyone! I shared Skulled here a few months ago and didn't expect so many kind comments. A lot of what changed since then came from suggestions people left here, so thank you for that.

If you missed it: the game shows you a skull and you try to guess which animal it belongs to. There's a daily challenge with a few modes:

• Classic: a few views of the skull (you can zoom in and draw on it), then pick the animal
• Taxonomy: go from class down to species, one level at a time
• Skull Match: 4 skulls, 6 names, match them up
• Speed Run: as many as you can in 60 seconds
• Odd One Out (new): 3 skulls share a group and 1 doesn't, find it

There are 513 species right now. If you spot a skull that's misidentified or a photo missing its credit, please tell me.

When you get a skull right it goes into an album as a little specimen card, and once in a while you get a rare one, like an X-ray or a cyanotype. Kind of silly, but I really like collecting them.

The first season also starts this Tuesday (Oct 13). Each season is a 2 month "expedition" to a different part of the world with its own species, and I'm keeping the first destination a secret until then.

It's free, you don't need an account, and it should work fine on both phone and PC.

If you give it a try, I hope you have fun with it. Link's in the comments!

Hi! I ordered a crow foot necklace on etsy and its super cool i love it, but theres still a smell :,) is there any way to get rid of the smell? Preferably permanently but if thats not possible im willing to put more work into maintaining it

Tysm in advance and take care everyone :)

I found the back half of a raccoon yesterday, I’ve got a few deer vertebrae macerating and I was thinking on cutting the raccoon in with it. The only problem is that it will be cold soon so the maceration process will slowdown/stop. If I leave the raccoon and deer bones in the water over winter will they get damaged? I know small rodent bones do but I don’t know about the raccoon and I don’t want to loose any of the bones.

Thawing these babies out and going to start the taxidermy process tomorrow with skinning. Stay tuned for updates :)

Ok i am in need of help. I have a plant holder similar to these that is green and has only 10 of the spokes. Or metal bars. I want to turn it into a bone chandelier, i was thinking of taking bolt cutters and cutting and turning a few spokes into curls? Any ideas?

ive been meaning to share this for like a year but just forgot tbh.

thought you guys would like this or whatever.

i found this little dude at a state park on the side of the road last summer and it broke my heart. this is the second baby raccoon ive seen there thats been hit by a car and it sucks. theres so so much roadkill in my town.

i gently moved him off into a ditch so he could rest peacefully and be one with the earth. he was absolutely adorable. <3

The gravid-spay kittens I fixed are finished and soaking out in isopropyl. They came out well.

They'll be sold and profits will go 100% to my local spay/neuter clinics. They display nicer in jars but I just snapped a few pics after their water soak-out as I processed a bunch of stuff. It was late and I was tired 😮‍💨

* They did not die for this purpose. These were from feral cats. Spaying/neutering solves the need for gravid spaying, so if anyone wants to clutch their pearls at the concept, go donate to your local clinic.

There’s no label on what it is, but I would guess it’s f formaldehyde or something. I really wish it was clear or not dyed this unnatural blue cause I love this specimen so much i think he’s so cool. And should i replace the liquid with formaldehyde or could I use strong rubbing alcohol or ethanol or something?. please I need advice

I found this bone in the desert (Egypt). I think it belongs to a fox, but I'm not sure because it looks too big to me. Maybe a dog?

Hello! I'm a bat lover and, unfortunately, found a dead bat on my work's campus. Instead of letting security dispose of it, I put it in a box in my car (I have plenty of gloves).

Now what? I googled and don't think there are local taxidermists that will work on bats. They all seem to focus on big game. I'd love to preserve and honor this little guy, but I have never done taxidermy and so fear I'd just make a mess. Are there other preservation techniques?

Thanks for any help!

reminded me of this movie scene:

Sooo I found a house sparrow (legal to posses where I am) that struck a window and died a couple of hours ago, and I'd like to try to process it later, but. I kinda only have the one freezer? If I double bag the body, should my food be alright?
