First up for Mammal Week are Insectivors!
I have very few of these but heres 3 Ive acquired over time.
European Hedgehog
European Mole
Common Shrew
Theres are also Pygmy and Water Shrews and out on the Isles of Scilly and Jersey lie the Lesser Whited Toothed Shrew. The Greater Whited Toothed Shrew usually found on Guernsey and other Channel Isles apparently turned up in Sunderland of all places after being caught by a Cat!
The Hedgehog is a rapidly declining resident leading to a Red Listed status. However our love for these nighttime visitors has actually seen a rise in population numbers in Urban settings so keep up the hard work. Hedgehogs will also foam at the mouth, this is to self anoint coating this onto thier spines its thought to provide a new smell as a potential predator deterrent but researchers arent exactly sure
The same cant be said for the rarely seen Mole who have no legal protection. Historically used for fur and culled for garden interference they spend their time underground. The fur doesnt grow in a set direction and its thought to aid with manoeuvring around a common myth is they dont have eyes, they do, albeit basic.
Common Shrews on the other hand dont stick around too long. Thats because they need to eat almost 90% of its body weight a day to survive, feasting on insects theyre always on the hunt. So its no wonder that despite them being Britain's second most numerous mammal you dont find em all too often.

I'm finally done
The 3.74 meter reticulated python is finally finished, I am extremely proud, I feel like a peacock
There were probably more than a thousand pieces and I still have a 2.5 meter burmese degreasing and two other snakes in the freezer waiting to be cleaned and articulated

sketch to carving!
I might touch up a couple lines but the panels turned out great. I really like that the plum tree life cycle doesn’t exactly line up with the rabbits’, but it fits perfectly at the same time???
here it is with the lid. I think I’ll leave it uncarved

Introducing The Skull Index - A public collaborative resource website.
You might have seen the post @dread-doughnuts made a while back!
While there are various skull resource sites on the web usually dedicated to a certain museum collection or a few museum collections of skulls. This is the first public collaboration skull resource website led by a small team of 5 individuals.
Do you collect skulls? Enjoy collecting and sharing helpful data such as measurements to help compare against other specimens? Consider becoming a collaborator! We currently have over 400 confirmed species on the index, and many more to come!
We are also in touch with various museums and educational institutions across the world, and hope to add some rarer specimens and hopefully extinct vertebrates at the end of the year!
Our hope is that this website will be helpful for anyone. From researchers to students and artists, or to people who are simply interested in bones and skulls and just want to look at neat photos or compare skulls against their own collection for identification help!
Please note that the Skull Index is a work-in-progress website! Most pages for species have not been made yet, our team is working hard on editing photos, compiling the information, and adding new content every day.
Keep up to date with news, join the community hub of visitors, and collaborators, and network with people from the museum industry in our DISCORD SERVER (Please note our server is 18+ only due to privacy and safety).

Coprinus necrosidus, the Abysmal ink cap mushroom. These mushrooms are a fictional species of ink cap, made primarily clay, yarn, and bone. They are placed on a raccoon skull I harvested from the woods.
I love mushroom themed crafts.

REJOICE
A piece inspired by the Gävle goat that burned in 2021 that I never got around to post due to reasons. It didn't feel right to post it until now. Birds have mostly picked the goat apart, its skeleton being exposed. The cycle continues.
Find me and my art elsewhere!
