European Hedgehog Skull
A pretty unusual skull in my opinion. It’s crooked. Not sure if that’s normal or not but my assumption is that its just a little deformed. Hes almost exactly the size of my fox squirrel skull.
You can see a few sore spots on my hands from trying to skin it. They are a lot more spiky than the little pet hedgehogs.
This gnarly old black bear skull was quite the find ! My local taxidermist has him sitting on the shelf. He told me he had mounted that bear about 35 years ago, and was shocked to see this deformed skull! After all those years, he never sold it until I came along. I am honored to have this unique piece in my collection
I am currently preparing a very rare and interesting pathological specimen: the amputated leg of a d.og with implant site osteosarcoma. He had a torn ACL repaired several years ago with a metal plate, but then developed the extremely rare side effect of bone cancer at the site. The leg was amputated at the clinic where I work, and I am preparing it to articulate and display as a teaching specimen. This is the tibia.
