Vulture Culture Bone Blog :3

Intro Post!!

Be warned.

Bones, dead things, flesh buckets, wet specimens, bacteria, the squirrel flesh ball ™️, grease et al. May be posted here. If you are squeamish be cautioned.

I do love Bone Identification and I’m super open to asks about bones or collecting them!!!

In fact I’m enthusiastic!! PLEASE ASK ME!!

I’ve been collecting bones and active in vulture culture for 6+ years, and I always love seeing other peoples specimens or collections <3

Antique polar bear cranium. Old piece which came from a closed down school collection in Denmark where it had been for nearly 100 years.

Raccoon Skull vs Raccoon Dog Skull

These two understandably get mixed up quite a bit so I thought some folks might find this useful for telling them apart.

Official oddity expo post!!!

I got a foal, a domestic pig, and a muskrat (who I took no photos of) but he did make it home!

And of course, whoever let me hold and take photos with their wolf soft mount!!! Really cool I’m super normal about it. Completely normal.

Here's your yearly reminder NOT to purchase bat taxidermy products.

Because of their size, bats are notoriously difficult to find deceased from natural causes, and by the time they are found, the bodies have often already decomposed beyond value.

As sad as it is, it's true — As holidays approach, I know many people with an interest in these critters have the potential to receive gifts that are very unethical for the creatures they care about. Bats are killed for the sole purpose of displays like this as a soulless cash grab. Already, there are dozens of bat species that are threatened or endangered. It is not fair to them to support an industry that is actively trying to extinguish their life for decoration.

You can read more about this crisis here and here.

I know this is mentioned in the links but for those who only read to post, depending on your location most native bats are protected. So do your research when collecting, question shop owner's sources, call your local wildlife/natural resources officer, etc.

Vulture culture is prying bones from a flat raccoon off the median in a shopping center where your peers could very publically see you
