about me
Finally got around to writing an intro….
- 18
- evil
- girl-esque (?)
- collector of many things (bones, bugs, vintage toys, trading cards, etc etc)
- mixed media artist/amateur photographer/doll maker/taxidermist
- horror movie fanatic, especially TCM (only the first two) and NoES (including all the goofy sequels)
- also into dungeons and dragons, 80s kids media, exploring ghost towns and being out in nature
- would like mutuals with similar interests
- huge animal lover, currently volunteering at my local stables. I also befriended a magpie who puts stuff in my pockets
- I don’t post suuuper often but I try to
- would be glad to post more about my animals if people are interested

Wry nose like this isn't typically seen in animals with such short snouts, so I thought I'd provide some possible explanations!
I think this specimen may have had Paget's disease, which is a condition affecting the replacement of bone tissue. It often gives bones a "warped" or "curved" appearance.
Basically, bone tissue breaks down at a much higher rate than is typical, and the new tissue that replaces it forms abnormally, hence its alternative name "osteitis deformans".
As you can see, in animals, the snout may become curved to the side, orbital cavities become markedly assymetrical, and parts of the skull appear to jut out.
If I could see the full skeleton, it'd be easier to tell for sure, as there'd be other things to look for.
Long bones are also subject to this "curve" malformation as seen in this human patient.
While I was looking for examples of animal skulls with osteitis deformans, I also came across this study showing the effects of ossification of the tympanic ring (alongside some other defects) which is sort of similar to what Paget's disease can cause.
On the other hand, this malformation could've been caused by trauma, or some other congenital deformity but I thought this'd be interesting to share.
Another possible reason for the wry nose could be simple malpositioning in utero, which is one of the most common causes for wry nose in horses. And also why I have a dent in my head
However, this typically doesn't cause such drastic orbital abnormalities.
If I could see the full skeleton, maybe I’d be better at “diagnosing” the problem here, but these are my best guesses for now!
This is a bit different from what I typically post, but I didn't want interesting bone facts to go to waste!
Very funky river otter skull.

If you live in a rural or outer suburban area, you can find bones on the side of the road often, but if you live in the city or more inner suburbs roadkill usually gets taken away before it decomposes. You can still take the roadkill home and bury it to get the bones.
Another option is public parks, they’re typically more accessible and easier to navigate, but you might not find a ton of stuff there. It’s still a good place to check out and you might get lucky!
I once found a fully intact squirrel skull that required minimal cleaning just on the side of the road.
Unfortunately many aspects of this hobby aren’t very disability-friendly. I’m not a wheelchair user, so I don’t know all the ins and outs of your situation, but I do have a joint/connective tissue disorder that can make walking long distances very painful. Hope that helped at least a little!
are there any wheelchair accessible places to find bones lol i know nature isnt wheelchair accessible bc its nature, but like is there anywhere someone could go in a wheelchair or at least not have to walk far from it? we used to look in the woods but we cant climb over all the branches and rocks and stuff anymore we get so exhausted and sweaty and dizzy and hurt bad the next day. we go on trails through the few woods around here but never really find anything. ive heard railroad tracks are good areas to find bones but we dont have any nearby that we can get to.

I’ve been trying to make an introductory post for the past six months but I can’t think of anything to say about myself

What’s your cleaning process? I’m still kinda new and not sure what is best
I first just remove any of the easily-removable skin or flesh if it still has some. Then I fill a bucket with hot water (not boiling) and put the bones in along with a little bit of dish soap. Once it’s soaked for like an hour or so, I scrub them with an old toothbrush to remove any flesh that’s still clinging on and clean away all the dirt. I change the water and let it soak for a while. Very small things might only need to soak for a few hours, but very large things or things with lots of crevices might need to soak for over a week to be completely clean and degreased.
If it has to soak for multiple days, I make sure to change the water every day. You’ll know the bones are done soaking once the water stops becoming greasy. If you take the bones out and let them dry and they feel sticky or smell bad, you should probably let them soak a little longer.
After I’m done with that initial cleaning process, I whiten the bones with peroxide. I fill a bucket with equal parts water and peroxide and put the bones inside. Whitening doesn’t take very long, you’ll notice a difference pretty quickly. There’s not a set amount of time you have to keep them in there for, just until they appear white. Make sure the bones are fully submerged so they won’t look uneven.
That’s pretty much it! Depending on the stage of decomposition, it might be a little more labor intensive, but this process works for any type of bone.

The vertebrae are from a domestic turkey
