Vulture Culture - Tumblr Posts
The other day Al went over to an area where someone has been digging up old bottles and the like. Theres lots and lots of left overs and whilst flicking over them with a UV light for fun they came across this Sheep jaw and Rabbit skull.
The Sheep jaw came home. I assume both are old food waste

Five of my favorite pathological skulls with hole-y heads.
From left to right they are—raccoon, wolf, domestic goat, coyote, and a domestic cat on the bottom. All of these animals had some sort of injury or illness that caused open holes in their skulls while they were still alive. The wolf for example, likely survived being kicked in the head by a large hoofed prey animal.
Nature is fascinating and scary.
Two of my favorite oddball coyote skulls.
One had a massive underbite which caused one lower canine tooth to protrude up into the incisive foramen when the mouth was closed.
The other one had some crazy bone deformity over the eye socket which created multiple holes that opened right into the sinuses and braincase.

Vulture Culture
ive seen alot of ficlets or prompts associate danny with crows cuz they're associated with death and all that but what about vultures?
like- Vultures are scavengers that eat the flesh of dead bodies. They're recognized as symbols of death around the world! they could create twice the chaos instead of crows:
gotham city wakes up one day to find itself infested with vultures, no one knows where they came from but they seem to crowd around a blue-eyed, black-hair child... oh no, someone hid him from bruce wayne and the joker.
Does anyone else bury their vulture finds?
I’m not sure if it takes longer than any other ways but burying us the only way I know. What ways do you do it? And do you think their easier or harder?
I have several of my finds buried rn, a skunk, coyote, and a possum! I’m waiting another 2 months or so before I unbury them. So a total of three months I underground! It seems like forever!
Mummified snek that I couldn't id for the lord's sake
It lost a bit of colour after I mummified it, but here is the fella before mummification!
If anyone haves any thoughts on what species it might be, I'm very willing to listen to your ideas! So far I think it is a Montpellier juvenile, but I'm unsure bcs of the patterns on it's back (':
OH MY GOD THOSE ARE SO COOL
that black wolf pelt made me literally gasp fur real, love the lil silver/white details
Wolf vs Coyote Pelts
Definitely two of my favorite pelts, it just amazes me how big these guys are. My large coyote pelt is from New Hampshire which explains his huge size while the black wolf is from Alaska.
Both have a bit of a more wirey hair texture than that of a fox or tanuki.
