Took apart a different jewelry box and used a bunch of super glue and prayers to assemble this. Thank you to the user that suggested I used a rabbit skull, it fit so nicely! I am now engaged!

I pulled over today to pick up a pretty large skunk off the side of the road. Super stoked because it was still perfectly in tact, with no clear / visible injury; but as I got out to run across the street, I noticed this guy pancaked before me. What is it? A coyote or a fox? Looks like a small coyote imo but im not too familiar with fox remains. Also, I will post skunk tomorrow when I decide what to do with it. Any suggestions ? TIA!

Working on a bunch of larger wets, including these two. Just-born failure to survive lamb and a hit by car kitten, skull crushed (no chip, advertised, no owner).

The lamb was freezer burned around the face, so I dipped her in water + ammonia and it helped plump a lot. The eyes were like paper, so I replaced with plain black marble-sized ones so her face wasn't sunken. I also eviscerated her to keep her a little lighter, and preserved her organs. She's sewn back up (90%, so fluid can still move in the cavity). She was really muddy and got quite a bath. She's speckled 💕

The kitten... bruh. She was reported to me as hit by a car nearby and was still warm when I found her. 🫩 She didn't suffer. The strike crushed her face/head/jaw (the pic) and you can see the lower jaw out of place, the upper canines out of line, and the molars a quarter inch too low. I replaced her eyes (they were... out) and have her head wrapped in polypropylene plastic to keep shape as she formalin-fixes. I opted to eviscerate her and fix her organs, sewed her back up, again to lighten her since the jar will be heavy. There was no impact damage to anywhere but her head.

I fuckin' hate cat roadkill. So unnecessary. Spay and neuter, and keep them inside :,c

My formalin is pretty discolored, so I'll have pics once they're finished and in isopropyl. Can't really see them right now. They're both in 2 gal jars.

Found him on mountain.I thought it’s a domestic cat but it’s bigger (11.5/12 cm).could be a caracal?

In addition her legs In white and from the searches I did on Google, I saw that caracals have white legs too.

Found a intact mouse skeleton in my new project car. 1979 ford ranchero gt for those that are curious.

Edit: wrote the correct year for the car.

Hi friends!!

I need some advice! I found this mummified lizard in my backyard about a month ago, put him in a Ziploc and stored him for a project. As far as I'm aware from my comings and goings, he'd been in my backyard about a week with temperatures over 115° some days so I hoped he was fully preserved.

I have the project basically ready to go, and pulled him out to add, but I noticed an odor from the bag. It's not a strong smell, I had to bring the bag closer to my nose to actually pick up on it, but now I'm nervous that there's something still decomposing in him and that it won't last in my project :/

I tried googling if a body is truly fully mummified if it smells, but I couldn't find anything not relating to Egyptian mummies and this clearly has nothing to do with those lol.

If anyone has any experience or advice, I'd love to hear it! Thanks :)

what species? found in ireland

Picked up this guy for 50 usd at a flea market figured I could fix him up pretty easy. I oiled his horns with wood oil (lmk if that's terrible, they look really nice compared to before they were dusty as hell photo wasn't taken) his nose was torn holes in the eyes and mouth area. I filled them in with air-dry clay and super glued it closed as much as it could. Filled the eyes with clay as well then I colored it with chalk pastels and sealed it with a sealent all around fur, horns, eyes, nose I did extra to give it a nice shine. Would love your thoughts and opinions! I've never had any teaching or anything just artistsy.
