spotted hyenas can crush the largest bones of giraffes (which they can eat and fully digest). these are not teeth you want to fuck around with.

I miss finding more than lowkey dead things like this pancaked frog

“Hmmm, I hope Santa took a head count when he got home last night…” Two of the theories circulating on the internet about how this “zombie reindeer” came to be: 1) The animal died fighting its way through neck-deep snow and became frozen in an upright position because its body was supported on all side by dense snow. Scavengers fed only on the parts that were exposed above the snow line (head and back) The snow subsequently melted and the uneaten parts that the scavengers couldn’t previously reach were exposed. 2) Pranksters propped a frozen carcass up in a snowbank

Skinning “Jane” the RSPCA cat, face first. I find this both fascinating and frightening - you can see she was missing several of her incisors, and appears to have no teeth between her upper canines at all. You can also see how “sharp” the lines of her face are, with little tissue covering the bone underneath.

★ Please note ★ This animal was not killed for taxidermy, was legally acquired, and in this photo I was in the process of cleaning up their remains so they can be admired after death 💀 This cat was neglected and seized by the RSPCA, but then died (likely due to age or neglect).
