This raccoon skull has a secret: nose tooth

The sixth incisor just never descended I guess?

Two of my favorite oddball coyote skulls.

One had a massive overbite which caused one lower canine tooth to protrude up into the incisive foramen when the mouth was closed.

The other one had some crazy bone deformity over the eye socket which created multiple holes that opened right into the sinuses and braincase.

Teaching vet students how to do a necropsy is very fun as I basically spend half my time forcing them to undo all of their learning on delicate surgical handling of tissues since we've got decomposing organs to get to and we have no time to delicately blunt dissect our way to display stage.

Watching them basically give me a shocked pikachu face when I tell them to just cut through a muscle belly or if you can see your finger through it you can probably just cut it gives me an insurmountable amount of joy

I never posted here to Tumblr! This is my best work to date.

This post is long overdue, but finally, this long anticipated project is ready to share. Pictures just don’t do this sweet little soul justice for how unique he truly is. This stillborn kitten was born with a deformity known as Diprosopus, which causes two faces to form in the same skull.

Diprosopus is a rare, life-threatening developmental defect during embryogenesis, and a subtype of conjoined twins, characterized by partial or complete duplication of the facial structures on a single head, neck, trunk and body.

Diprosopus often occurs in combination with other congenital disorders, particularly anencephaly, neural tube defect and cardiac malformations. When present, the brain may show abnormalities ranging from partial to complete duplication of brain structures, and/or underdevelopment of brain tissues. Cats with the condition are known as 'Janus cats', after the Roman god.

This was such a strange and yet amazing specimen to be trusted to work with. I’m so pleased with how he turned out and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

watusi are just flat-out insane

(seen at the Columbus Oddities and Curiosities Expo. ft. some of the biggest big game antelope - and one deer - for scale, it was wider than I am tall! and a wry nose on him to boot!)

am too busy to finish anything so.....*proceeds to birth random au drawing where grace was raised primarily by stamatins even though there are still saburovs but i can not imagine them as good parental figures (maybe they count only bcs of financial stability?) idk these four adults are all pretty much unstable but atleast peter has an adorable parental connection with grace (also when andrey retired she closed down his bar confronting childhood trauma and instead turned it into a mortuary)*

Five of my favorite pathological skulls with hole-y heads.

From left to right they are—raccoon, wolf, domestic goat, coyote, and a domestic cat on the bottom. All of these animals had some sort of injury or illness that caused open holes in their skulls while they were still alive. The wolf for example, likely survived being kicked in the head by a large hoofed prey animal.

Nature is fascinating and scary.
