#even I made the mistake of getting a few from US sellers that mislabeled them as ranched reds and corsac foxes before I found out

The amount of skulls that are mislabeled on ebay/etsy/etc. has gotten completely out of hand. Tanukis labled as foxes and raccoons, arctic blue foxes labled as red or gray foxes, dogs labled as coyotes, and that's just the canids.
I'm gonna work on a bone ID chart eventually. Just something simple to help new Vultures and oddities collectors distinguish the differences. The issue with arctic blue fox skulls saturating the market is absolutely excessive. They're often purchased in bulk from highly unethical fur farms and then sold without the correct ids and imported/exported illegally.
