A Curated List Of My Favorite Skeletons (and Skulls!)
We shall start, of course, with the obvious:
Stringray!
Followed neatly by
pufferfish!
gila monster skull (shh they are
sleeping)
moving on to
flamingosbc they have
so little to work withbut they stretch it
so far
veiled chameleon skull(plus art by Elena Barbieriso you comprehend the importance of the
sclerotic ring bone!) (bc some eyes have bones!
some eyes have bones and that is so so valid)
love us a good old-fashioned
mole
the
tucan, always a fun classic
in conclusion, a few dainty
gibbon skeletons to calm you soul,bc why the heck not <3
(yes the last one is a real vintage postcard sold in real Natural History Museum gift shops, before for some reason they reconsidered this marketing decision)
may i add for your consideration:
an extremely dragon-y looking Draco Rex skull (which is almost certainly actually a young pachycephalosaurus)
and, because people often seem to forget that seals are basically ocean bears and should be left all the way alone, here is a seal skull next to a black bear skull
and to drive the point home, below is a leopard seal skull, which is the size of a horse skull, because leopard seals are significantly larger than grizzly bears
