Continuing to show off some of my favourite photos from our recent visit to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum here in Vancouver, BC. I think the first photo is of the skull of a walrus and third one a giraffe skull from Uganda.
Please check out the earlier and later posts, if you haven’t already:

Ooh lovely! They remind me of my childhood when walks on the moors always meant finding a sheep skull and an argument with my parents when I tried to take it home. I usually succeeded when I claimed it would help me with my biology studies. On reflection my bedroom must have been a very strange place in those days!
PS I wonder if I could still find one now….
Wow, pointy teeth on that walrus… amazing things.
These remind me of the Mari Lwyd pieces of Clive Hicks-Jenkins! (Yipes.)
Julie, how interesting to have been able to find skulls on your walks! I don’t recall ever having that experience except maybe broken bird bones, or maybe I was too timid to get close to anything bigger.
Lucy, yes the teeth were amazing on so many of these creatures.
Marly – wow, methinks you you’ve been much immersed in the worlds of Clive’s pieces! But how cool is that, to find that connection…
The last one particularly!
