Skulls

billyargh
Today, among other interesting activities, I took delivery of eight animal skulls purchased on Etsy. The seller identifies them as, variously, "raccoon, skunk, muskrat, fox, turkey, beaver, coyote and bobcat." This is his photo:

I'm tentatively identifying them as follows, but welcome corrections.

Top row, L-R: coyote, beaver, raccoon, fox

Middle row, L-R: bobcat, skunk, muskrat

Bottom: turkey (obviously)

I would say that sounds about right, based on size and other identifying features. Great purchase!

The turkey skull is amazing. Dinosaurs walking among us (literally "among us" in my case, as several turkeys have moved into the park near my Cambridge, MA house).

I love bird skulls. I'll never make my treasured brown pelican skull into art or sell it, but I ought to post a picture sometime.

[ETA: realized I probably couldn't anyway, since they are a protected species, and furthermore it's probably not even legal to own one. So I don't. But if I did, I would have found it on the beach and defleshed it myself.]

That muskrat looks so cool...somewhat malevolent, Pinky and the Brain style.
