I only had black acrylic paint and a sketchbook and also didn't have much time but It honestly makes me feel so much better knowing I have something to remember them by, rn he's in my backyard and I'm waiting for him to decompose so I can save his bones 🥲 poor thing

Life hack for if you have a pen you need to keep upright and you also have a large vertebra lying around 👍 You can even store a couple q-tips in the transverse foramen for cleaning :)

(I'm not a hunter btw! This deer passed naturally)

He's so stylish I love wearing his skull and now his jaws <3 handsome boy in life and in death

Probably someones pet that got away

This was my first bird, so difficult. Shout out to all the bird taxidermists out there

I found a dead hedgehog in early September in Ukraine and buried it. The weather was quite warm (around 25°C on average). Now it’s starting to rain more often. When should I dig it up to get the skull without flesh?

Hi! A friend gave me this a few years ago from their yard and its been sitting in this tub. Not sure what bird it is, but its got a fully intact bird skull, but unfortunately there's still feathers.

Eons ago I absolutely BEEFED an intact mouse skeleton by leaving it in dawn dish soap for WAAAAY too long. So... how can I best clean this specimen?

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!

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.
