mixed breed domestic dog (bullmastiff/lab) - full skull - M

absolutely huge dog, almost as big as my great dane (which is large even for the breed). Poor guy had very strange tooth wear, his canine had worn completely into a divot. I have no answer on what caused it, maybe cage biting.

Name: Danny Species: Coyote (Canis latrans) Sex: Unknown (Believed Male) Age: Adult Length: 9.5" About: Danny was the first specimen I received in my collection. He is fairly greasy constantly no matter how often he gets degreased (but, I promise he is less greasy than he appears). I love him very much. He is also very large, not only is he my largest coyote but he is also the largest coyote skull I've ever handled.

Did you see the news about the thylacine head? Someone had one preserved for 100+ years and they were able to find DNA!

The soft tissue of the specimen that researchers dubbed ‘head in a bucket’ contains preserved long RNA molecules, which are crucial to reconstructing the thylacine genome. Photograph: Andrew Pask/University of Melbourne and Museums Victoria [source].

A gorgeous German shepherd skull. He had extra premolar teeth!

This guy was found deep in the woods, partially decomposed, no collar and no chip. Searched local sites & vets to see if anyone had lost a dog of his description; nothing. Always do your due diligence when you find what may be a lost pet.
