The skull of a two-toed sloth.

Sharp fangs are not exclusive to predators. These animals, like their armored relatives (Cingulata), have teeth that grow continuously and lack enamel; by grinding against each other, they become pointed. The tannins in the leaves they feed on make them turn almost black.

Oh, and they also have impressive claws…

Don't trust collectors who say that nasal turbinates don't matter.

The inside of an animal’s nasal cavity tells us lots of information about the environment it lived in and the family it belongs to. Aggressive treatments such as boiling damage them: anyone who uses those methods to “clean” bones is not a true enthusiast.

In the photo: harp seal, wolverine, striped hyena, cheetah.

THE FAMOUS SHARK LIVER!!!!! Interesting to me how the liver of a shark is on its ventral side whilst the ray-fin swim bladder is more in the middle of the body
