For my final project I will be comparing several different skeletons to compare the functionality of the forelimb in the different animals.

SQUIRREL


Kyle is my name. Flying squirrels skulls cost $45 and this whole set is $195. I was able to prepare the same skeleton by skinning the squirrel and feeding his body to the bugs in the Natural Science Museum. Very cooooool.

The Winter Least Weasel (aka Ermine)

For my skeleton preparation I was told I was doing a Winter Least Weasel, and since mine had a black tipped tail, Prof Hinshaw told me it was specifically then an Ermine, which is adorable. Here I included a picture of a least weasel, so you can see what I was dealing with, and how cool and cute they are. My specific specimen was winter, so the coat is a gorgeous white. I will upload a picture once I find a suitable picture.
