my nephew has been getting into biology and is fascinated with skulls. He found a dead crow and a raccoon and stripped the meat off and whitened the skulls for preservation. I bought him a bobcat skull for his birthday and he just loved it, reading all about bobcats and bones and at ten can name any skull bone I point to. If any of you have skulls you are willing to part with, let me know. Thanks.
Too bad he already has a bobcat. Wooks could have given you his. Also, I am willing to part with Sly's skull/skeleton. I'll sell it for $5 (Yes, I know - steeper than most pay him). The fun part is the skeleton recovery.
I've always wanted someone famous in my family. kidding, he is super empathetic and there isn't a hurtful bone in his body. But he is just really interested in science and nature. And the only animals he kills are Asian. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Keep Mags away from my nephew. Kidding again.
My boys are big bone collectors too. Our real prize is a beaver skull their granny found on a hike. Cool to look at those massive long teeth and the beefy lower jaw. I've returned with fox, coyote, badger, deer, snake, and some varmint skulls from various hunts and hikes. Kids totally dig it. Who can blame them? Sure, Jeffrey Dahmer was into skulls. He was probably into fried chicken and water melon too. That's because skulls, fried chicken and water melon are all fucking amazing!
My dad has a lion skull from a safari he went on in Africa. It's such an amazing skull to look at. But it's also kind of sad. I'm not a squishy person, but it's just kind of heart breaking to think about killing an actual African lion.
repped and exactly! I'm kind of the same way. Looking at lion skulls or hippo taxidermy (have that at paxtongate in portland) from hunts is both interesting to look at but sad at the same time. Even seeing some giant buck mounted on the wall is a little sad, but a beautiful thing in the freezer.
Yeah, my dad has a wall full of severed heads from critters he's shot. I just don't get it. It just seems weird to me. Always has. I do have my moose antlers professionally mounted though. My dad wanted to mount the whole head, and I'm so glad I fought him on that one. Can you imagine having this 7 foot long hairy head staring at you while you eat your Cheerios? Fuck that. Just because I like a certain pornstar's ass doesn't mean I want to watch a scope of her colon.
