Apparently Mole Interest is trending, so I think I need you all to see their bizarre humeri
Tumblr media
(Image ID: Left, a rat humerus. It looks normal. Right: a mole humerus. It looks like a twisted beast).
It's one of my favourite animal bones :)

I'm finally done
The 3.74 meter reticulated python is finally finished, I am extremely proud, I feel like a peacock
There were probably more than a thousand pieces and I still have a 2.5 meter burmese degreasing and two other snakes in the freezer waiting to be cleaned and articulated

had a strange thought about a rabbit walking through a deer's ribcage and becoming a jackalope

These jaws had some teeth missing, so I replaced them! These will be jewelry later, let me know if you want dibs on any in particular, or a custom one.

I just had to share these guys I found out about recently
they’re called Mexican Mole Lizards and they make no sense whatsoever
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah! That, as I am thrilled to tell you, is Bipes biporus, and they're not actually lizards at all. They're amphisbaenians, the final group of squamata, the order of scaled reptiles - related to lizards and snakes, but very distinct. They have very unique scales - the scales are arranged in rings loosely attached to the trunk, so they move with both skin and trunk muscles. Amphisbaenians, unlike snakes, only have primitive eyes, have a fracture plane in their tails, have both vestigial pelvic and pectoral girdles (even primitive snakes only have vestigial pelvic girdles), and have teeth and powerful jaws specialized for tearing chunks out of prey.
Look at the skulls on these guys! It's like they're straight out of Alien!

B. biporus and others in its genus are actually unique among amphisbaenians because they have those front legs, most amphisbaenians are legless.
They're my favorite amphisbaenians. I think they're so cute.
Tumblr media
And they can MOVE with those little legs!

Coprinus necrosidus, the Abysmal ink cap mushroom. These mushrooms are a fictional species of ink cap, made primarily clay, yarn, and bone. They are placed on a raccoon skull I harvested from the woods.
I love mushroom themed crafts.

I have exciting information for you! Bird bones are not entirely hollow, rather they are filled with large air pockets. I find the result both delightful and terrifically unsettling!
