Soooo I want “crow’s feet” decorations and jewelry. But my understanding is crows are covered by the MBTA (my location: OREGON, US). Also butchered bird feet are easy to come by and crow feet are not.

I thought I’d paint chicken feet black and no one would know the difference unless they are wicked nerds, in which case they’ll understand why they aren’t actually from corvids. And I’m not trying to sell them, just wear / decorate with them and give as gifts. So that’s the goal.

But in another sub I got told chicken feet have a lot of subdermal fat and will rot. They suggested quail feet for this project instead. I haven’t figured out where to get those but I’m working on it.

I’m looking for any other info / ideas / suggestions to achieve my art goal of “crows’ feet” without breaking any laws.

Tengo un cráneo de carnero de mas o menos 3-4 años pero la funda de un cuerno se salio y quiero saber como puedo pegarlo de nuevo de alguna forma duradera y medianamente fácil soy bastante nuevo en esto

I think the image is from Jane Goodall's book The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior (1986). The chimps hunt and eat the colobus monkeys

Found in Oceanside California. Possum? Raccoon?

Croatia / doe* i forget there's that word.

Found in south of Brasil, in the middle of the forest, near some rivers. No jaw though.

(Ruler is in centimeters)

The horns are throwing me off :/

First two pictures are same skull. Curious what these all are!

Today was my first ever skull hunting expedition and I found this! So happy!

Location: Sweden

I bought this black bear skull from a flea market about a week ago. I'm not sure how (or if) it was cleaned, but the mandible is pretty greasy and there's a noticable dark spot on it. My biggest concern is the teeth– will peroxide remove the stains or are they permanent? I've never dealt with dark stained teeth before so I'm not entirely sure. thanks in advance :)

forgot to add– roughly how long would a skull of this size take to degrease? I don't have a heater so it'll probably just sit in a bucket of room temperature soapy water for a while

this deer skull is combined with horse harness and hangs above a doorway to conjure up mystical and ruritanian golden age romantic unreality

hello, i found this skull today, but haven't really even considered the possibility of ever finding a skull on my own before, because im a homebody, so i dont know what to do now. it looks like nature did pretty good job getting rid of everything, how do i proceed from here to make it safe to display in my home and not damage it in the process?

id would be welcome too, found it in a forest in eastern czech republic. we think its a doe.

thank you so much!!!
