Spooky Scary Skeletons

Hello, I collect bones and bugs and other odd things! DISCLAIMER: No animals are harmed for the sake of being in my collection. I try to tag my posts accordingly so if anything makes you uncomfortable please blacklist it, I do not intend to shock or upset anyone with this blog. My main account is @thecrazylu.

My dad’s just trying to have a yard sale and I’m out in the yard cleaning my bones :(

Rabbits are not rodents!

*fairly long post about animal cranial anatomy*

Contrary to common belief, rabbits and hares (Leporidae), together with pikas (Ochotonidae), do not belong to the order of rodents; They are, instead, lagomorphs.

I won’t dwell on behavioral or dietary differences, but I will show you a small detail of the skull that makes them distinguishable at a glance. First, let’s see if you can spot it yourself!

Got it? The answer lies in the incisors. While rodents have a single upper pair, often (but not always) colored red or orange - lagomorphs have two pairs of incisors in the upper jaw.

These teeth are called peg teeth, and they help them grind fibrous food.

I had so much fun making this post 🥹 I hope you like it, maybe let me know if you would like more

Here’s a display I made for a friend of mine recently, I had a lot of fun with this! I kinda want to make more of these, since it got me to use a bunch of spare bits and pieces I had laying around.

New experiment : This time, I animated on radish slices. Obviously, no waste in the end, we ate the frames

Thought y’all might appreciate tonight’s setup (plus kitty). I wanted to put out more skulls but was worried about them getting damaged/stolen so I settled for just the horse!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween 🎃

Hey folks!

I have up to around 7 slots open for commissions with no decorative elements. I suppose these will be the only slots available this year - next booking will be for 2026 commissions.

There are three types available:

classic pet

classic animal

noodlize me

All commissions from this batch will be completed no later than December 15th, so this could be a great opportunity to get a gift for yourself or someone else before the holidays. If you need it by a specific date, just let me know in your email.

I think all the important informations are on the images, but feel free to ask if you have any questions!

To book a slot please email [email protected] with the necessary details.

So I drove an hour to pick up what I thought was a reasonably sized lot of vintage taxidermy books for $20… and guys. It’s,, it’s a lot of books

[pancake-skin]

oh nooooo my lobster is too butteryyyy

[isopod-teeth]

You have to understand, this is the amount of books I thought I was getting

And I was like “yeah I can reasonably fit that on my bookshelf 😃”

Not complaining because I am absolutely thrilled that I now have all of this vintage taxidermy literature, however I was simply not prepared for the *amount* and my brain is short circuiting LMAO

[isopod-teeth]

Ok I need to seriously go through all the magazines a second time but here’s what I’m definitely not keeping, since I’m not huge into fish taxidermy:

If anyone might be interested in these please let me know!!
