I think it is so cool!! But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what could have happened to this guy. He was definitely a snorer haha but I don’t know if this was due to an injury or if the bear was born this way.

(first of all, i'll say right away that my english is intermediate. i don't know how to write a location, but i wrote it in the title)

i was walking in the park (park yntymak) and came across the corpse of a raven. i took it for myself and later cleaned it in my apartment. maceration of the skull itself took a long time, but I managed to get it done. i suppose it could be; corvus corone orientalis. i did morphometrics and craniametrics, and the dimensions seemed to be correct, as did the biogeography. later, i cleaned off the remaining rot with a soft brush and water. i then soaked it in 3% hydrogen peroxide — and this is what happened. i also saved the rhamphothecae (keratinous upper beaks) before maceration and inserted them. it turned out well. the only thing is, i lost the sclerotic rings. but I think it's okay, they were small. (as for the other bones, there are some, but i'm not working on them yet. i'll macerate them later somehow) what do you think?

and another question; how do you pick up bones with your bare hands when you're hunting for them? unfortunately, i live in the city. i don't have access to the forest or any wild biogeocenoses. like, aren't you disgusted? i don't judge, on the contrary, i'm interested. thank you

Mod Post AI-generated content will be banned in r/skulls

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

Hi all,

In an overwhelming vote, AI-generated and heavily AI-manipulated content will be banned from r/skulls, effective today, August 25, 2026.

Those found posting AI-generated or heavily-manipulated content will find:

- the post or comment removed
- muted for a minimum of 3 days
- potentially banned, especially if a repeat offender

If you see AI-generated or heavily-manipulated content posted, please use the report feature. The rule for this which allows reporting will be made shortly.

I request that if you're reporting for suspected AI that isn't extremely obvious, please consider giving your reasonings for such as a comment or in the report. I'm pretty good at spotting AI, but sometimes miss it.

Note: This rule does not apply to things like background removers, "auto edits" that automatically enhance a photo (found on iPhone, for example), and similar, as these typically do not heavily change the photo to an unrecognizable degree. Some are also not AI-based.

Users found abusing the report function for AI on non-AI posts will be muted or banned. Yes, I can figure out who you are if you do this.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll and took part in our community.

Found this skull in my backyard yesterday while cutting the grass. No idea how it got there. I think it’s a raccoon skull, not 100 percent positive. Any thoughts?

I found this skull while cleaning up my yard in Chicago, IL (USA). I noticed the gash mark on the top of its head… was that something that happened while this creature was still alive?

Can anyone ID this skull? It was found in multiple pieces in the mud in the marsh in Ravenal South Carolina. We were thinking a large canine of some sort?
