Spotted Hyena - Top Skull - n/a
This beast is definitely a favorite! The sagittal crest on this guy is massive and so are the teeth, it’s a specimen on the larger side for sure. The colored bits you see on the teeth are actually wax, I don’t know what for but the writing suggests it might have been a research specimen or maybe used for making replica casts once upon a time. You can see it has some writing/markings on either side and on the palate, though the markings on the right side are difficult to read.

New weird horse just dropped, folks.
A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.
I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!
Collection of skulls obtained from various sellers before and after degreasing and whitening. All of these were cleaned using a 50/50 solution of ammonia and water for about 4-6 weeks then rinsed and whitened in peroxide.
i love taking jabs at The Ineffables' horrific communication skills as much as the next guy but i hope you all understand that their piss-poor communication is built upon centuries of having to deny the truth of their relationship and having to take orders from Mega Powerful Organizations that they don't necessarily agree with but could kill them if opposed
all of their interactions until the end of Armageddon't had to be hidden under layers of deception, excuses, and plausible deniability — clandestine meetings at St. James' Park, risking discorporation via guillotine for a lunch date in Paris, "go back to my place" "my side won't like that", not accepting each other's gratitude. the same could be said for anything they did that their head offices don't agree with — doing good deeds because laudanum might not make him accountable for his actions, saving the Earth against heaven's wishes under the guise of thwarting a demon, having sushi to "live like the locals" when really he just likes sushi and interesting restaurants where they know his name. they never learned to be completely honest with each other, or with anyone (including themselves) for that matter.
it's honestly a testament to how strong their connection is that they've grown to trust each other so deeply ("i knew you'd come through for me, you always do" / "i can rely on you and you can rely on me"), given the circumstances. how do you place all your faith in someone despite the fact that you two could only ever whisper half-truths and read between the lines? god i love them
now that the walls are down, they're learning how to voice everything they never could out loud. it's clumsy, and painstaking, and they might cause each other grief along the way, but they'll get the hang of it, little by little

Algae cat! A normal part of bone cleaning if you process outdoors. This guy will clean up to the normal white color after a good degreasing and whitening bath. I love the natural patinas though 😍
