As you may be aware Al was running a Bioblitz and took along a selection of the collection especially since it was the penultimate day of #mammalweek Only 4 people showed up but there was certainly some interest in our display. I do feel a little frustrated that I was shoved into the furthest corner though Al! 06/05/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory
Pair of alpaca cria, ready to go. The standing one was a challenge to say the least! Not my favourite animals to work on; they are a lot of work and an awkward shape!

Dog I found on the beach last weekend, second pic is in situ Anyone I’ve told about/shown this is immediately sad, thinking that the dog was thrown into the ocean alive in a bin bag but I don’t believe so, he is old but well looked after, no tooth loss or signs of dental disease, and it looks like the bag was wrapped in a blanket before being put in the sea, this to me shows affection. I think it’s likely the person who loved this dog in life just didn’t know that most dead animals that end up in the ocean will wash up again due to the build up of gases during decomposition. I’m honoured to be the one to love him during death. I’ve noticed this a lot when people find dog or cat bones, it’s always some horrible abuse or neglect story and I don’t know why, every mummified fox found in a barn is suddenly an Italian greyhound that was starved to death, every cat was tortured by a psychopath and every dog at the side of the road was shot and dumped. I don’t know why people want to make up these horrific stories for the animals they find and not just, they died, because death is an inevitable part of life. I know we all love a good story but I don’t understand wanting to believe that animal died horrifically. But there’s my little rant over, anybody else noticed this or just me? #vultureculture #skullhunting #shedhunting #bonehunting #vulturecultureeu #vulturecultureuk #ireland #dogskull #dogskeleton #dogbones #canislupusfamiliaris #beachcombing #beachcombingfinds #skull #bones #skeleton

Paid a visit to some abbey ruins whilst we were bone hunting. Didn’t find much today except some pheasant remains, but I got three spurs I’ll be making into necklaces. Also got a roadkíll magpie, did see a Roe doe but I already have so many processing. #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #naturegifts #naturefinds #woodlandwalk #forestwalk #rocheabbey #ruins #12thcentury #abbeyruins

I know I know it isnt a skull but I ran out of space on the Feral Post. Besides who can resist these beauties anyways The UK is home to various types of Wild Ponies, these one are Exmoor Ponies and live in Sutton Park NNR. There's also Dartmoor, New Forest, Welsh, Highland, Shetland, Fell, Dale and Eriskay Ponies. Exmoor Ponies were traditionally used for hill farming theyre easily harnessed and used for pulling but thier role changed over time due to how well they do with being ridden. Thier small but stocky size makes them great for children right up to smaller adults. These days they're even entering shows! However in this instance theyre here for conservation, as friendly as they may look you arent allowed to interfere with as they are wild. They have a clean bite unlike Cattle that use thier tongue to rip and tear. Theyll easily break through tough plants that other animals may avoid and make way for new growth. 28/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
Gorgeous old badger found extremely dusty and camouflaged with incredibly worn down canines 🤔
Just to show you a few Bats, these photos have been borrowed from Richard Lawrence (under licence) on flickr. Here we have Common Pipistrelle, Brown Long Eared and Natterer's. Out of 18 species, 12 are found here in the Birmingham and Black Country area. All three are found here. When you think about Bats locally you think about Sutton Park NNR or Dudley Castle both sites are home to 9 species each but our key site is Smestow and Wightwick in Wolverhampton with 11 species! Leisler's, Brandt's, Nathusius's Pipistrelle and Lesser Horseshoe Bats are amongst those noted at the latter site. @Brumbats do an awful lot of work to conserve our Bats aswell as all the important surveys and rehabilitation necessary for thier survival. They are still on the look out for Barbastelle and Bechstien's Bats which lie just outside of our grasp as a county record. If you ever get the chance seeing Daubenton's Bats hunting over water, take it, it's a sight like no other. They are agile hunters who skim the waters surface after insects. If youre very still and quiet they'll get very close too, teamed up with a Bat detector youll recognise the almost machine gun like call. 27/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
So now that weve met alot of the Mammals of the British Isles, how many do you think there are? The answer according to the Mammal Society is 107! Most of which are made up of species on the naughty list, which again is species you cannot hold without a licence. Infact there are 18 species of Bats listed and at least 30 Cetaceans reported in our waters! We've talked about some Mammal being non native, invasive even but theres also some other vagrant species. Which include 4 species of Bat and 5 Pinnipeds (listed earlier) but also our only Marsupial. The Red Necked Wallaby, largely found in southern regions but as far north as Scotland there was also a, now believed to be extinct, population in the Peak District. Theres a large population on the Isle of Man however. But there's also Raccoon and Reindeer in the UK too. Raccoon appear from illegal releases or escapes and in 2016 were banned from import into the country but a few sightings to pop up from time to time. Reindeer were native to the UK some 800 years ago until they were hunted to extinction, in the early 1950s a controlled but free roaming herd was introduced into the Cairngorms where there are about 150 individuals. With its near Arctic conditions the Cairgorms seems like a location more suited to them and thier specially adapted coats with hollow hairs and fur covered snoots. So a herd in the Costwolds might come as a suprise, these guys you can visit over the winter though. 27/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
The Grey Seal! One of 2 native Seals to the UK the other being the Harbour Seal. This one is a young one and nowhere near the size of an adult male who can weigh up to a massive 300kg! They have distinct mottled patterns which can be used to actually identify them by individuals. They have roman noses too with parallel nostrils setting them appart from the V shape of the Harbours. The Grey Seals have done so well here in the last 100 years. Britain is home to 95% of all Greys in Europe. Unfortunately our Seals get into trouble, this recent strain of bird flu was contracted by Seal's. Viruses, other injuries and issues caused by litter in the sea leave lots of them being looked after by @mallydams_wildlife_rehab A big issue for them too is human interference. Resting up on the beaches leave them an easy target for people and thier pets to harm and upset. So always aim to keep 100m away, especially from the babies who arent ready for the sea yet. They can also sense anxiety apparently so they may just wanna mess with you a little. They may be interested in you if youre in the sea so stay calm as to not spook them if they engage with you. They may use thier special whiskers to investigate you. Thier whiskers are wavy in shape to keep them steady as they move whilst tracking fish. When tracking they are pushed out so that they can feel the vibrations of hydrodynamic trails from up to 100m away. As well as having two native Seals on our shores our waters also boast other species Bearded, Harp, Ringed and Hooded Seals and as some of you may have followed on the news a Walrus here and there. 27/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
Muntjacs snd Chinese Water deer among the bluebells out in Bedfordshire. #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #ukwoodland #ukwildlife #muntjac #ukdeer #deer #antlershed #chinesewaterdeer #oddities #osteology #bonehunting #deerskull
Even Toed Ungulates today! Wild Boar Sika Fallow Roe Chinese Water Deer Reeves Muntjac Red Deer Unsurprisingly only 3 of these are native and all others come from regions of Asia The Chinese Water Deer (CWD) and Muntjac are from China. The CWD originally came from Whipsnade Zoo and due to our vast wetland regions populations in the UK now make up over 10 percent of the world's population. These tiny odd looking deer have long tusks but no antlers on the flip side Muntjac males have tusks and short, usually single tined antlers. Unlike other deer Muntjac have no fixed breeding season so young can be found all year round. These dog sized deer dont cause damage to trees particularly but your cars maybe, unfortunately 25% of deer collisions are Muntjac. Theyre fairly successful despite this but have been recently listed as invasive Sika are from Japan but are readily found up in Scotland where they can hybridize with our native Red Deer. Its possible that since one stag and three hinds were introduced that a huge percentage that all Sika in England and Scotland are descendents of those from Viscount Powerscourt’s deer park at Enniskerry, Eire (1860). Their antlers are smoother and paler than Reds with tines popping out at around a 45 degree angle. Whilst also known as the Spotted Deer, the Fallow is also spotted, along with 4 different coat patterns. Adorned with large palmate antlers theyre a sight to see, they did at one stage go extinct but were reintroduced from the East Mediterranean. They are considered naturalised at this stage Reds and Roe are our only natives, Roes are smaller sized and Red the biggest of all Deer in the UK. Roe antlers only usually get 3 tines and weigh just 25kg they are most distributed in the UK. Reds can weigh up to 8 times that and are mostly found in Scotland but theres even pockets in South Staffs Wild Boar secretly reintroduced in places but not legally, they were unfortunately hunted into extinction. These bristley beasties have cute stripey babies they will fiercely protect, thier tusks easily cause damage so during breeding season males develop thicker skin to help protect themselves 26/04/24 #mammalweek

Next up, Carnivores. For starters then theres Red Fox European Badger (Juvenile) Stoat Least Weasel Ferret American Mink The other species are Wild Cat, Pine Marten, Polecat and on the naughty list European Otter, I say that as to own an Otter you require a licence. American Mink as Im sure you're aware are introduced, some historicaly as accidental escapees of the fur industry and well the others are from deliberate release by protesters, proving you have to know your objective if you want change and not just act. I added Ferret to this list despite it being feral on the basis that theyre pretty hard to distinguish from Polecats and they do hybridize. However whilst there are ferals its possible they could be escaped or released pets/workers. Whilst the strong bandit style pattern on the face is a good identification tool, skull examination is your best bet but even then theyre pretty similar. Least Weasel. Ferocious and mighty is the UKs smallest Carnivore. Slender and speedy these incredible hunters pack an almighty punch taking on animals much bigger than themselves. The reason they are such effective killers is the set up of thier skulls thier small jaws are powered by strong muscles stretched over a long skull for maximum efficiency. Needle like teeth make piercing under that pressure effortless. Now if you follow @robertefuller Im sure you will have developed a love for our Stoats, lots of character thier curiosity peaks, even more fun to be had on trampolines. Further north you'll find they'll change fur colour in the winter to a great white contrasting with that black tipped tail. A little ruthless however they may very well use the home of the Rodent it called prey and then use its fur to line the nesting space. Badger and the Fox are complex some folk see them as pests and others love them. The nighttime gang can be a little elusive to most and the evidence you'll find of Foxes will be the human sacrifice sounds echoing in the night, strewn about rubbish. Badgers however upset capitalists through legislation to protect them. Sadly you'll find most on roadsides either way. 25/04/24 #vultureculture #bones #skull #mammalweek

Third day of Mammal Week is all about Rodents! There are a total of 17 different Rodents across the British Isles and we have less than half of that. Here there is Grey Squirrel Brown Rat Bank Vole Field Vole Wood Mouse House Mouse Theres also Red Squirrel, Eurasian Beaver, Hazel Dormouse, Water Vole, Harvest Mouse and Yellow Necked Mouse, all of which are native. On top of that theres also some Island subspecies, the Skomer, Guernsey and Orkney Voles. Skomer being a subspecies of the Bank Vole and the latter of the Common Vole. Not forgetting the Edible Dormouse and the Black Rat both of which have been introduced. So out of our list theres two species which have been introduced. The Brown Rat and of course the Grey Squirrel, the Brown Rat came in from Asia and the Grey Squirrel is native to North America. The Grey Squirrel however is classed as an Invasive Species. Both of these species are adaptable, agile and unfortunately are known for spreading disease. Notably the Grey Squirrel having a huge effect on Red Squirrel populations who have no immunity to pox. In addition thier aggressive behaviour (amongst other complications) forced Reds into a select few locations, entirely absent from Southern England Mainland. But now lets talk about teeth! Teeth are the easiest way to seperate the last 4 species. Mice have cusped molars and Voles have molars that continuously grow. Then to seperate that further the distinction between Wood and House Mice is the notch in the back of the incisors of the House Mouse which the Wood lacks. In Voles its a little more complicated, sometimes its notable by the length of row of teeth, sometimes even the shape of the teeth pattern as seen from the underside but the distinction between Field and Bank Voles is the second molar the Bank Vole has a paired root and the Field Vole have a single open root on the 2nd upper molar! 24/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek

Getting on top of things has been a super long process. Ive made some amazing things I love while other things went a little wrong Time had been hard on me. Working nights and then trying to figure out time to create and be productive is something I am still working hard on. I really want to push forward with this buisness as it is my aim to be full time self employed ! I will be doing a post about this at some point. This will be when I feel a little more confident . . . . . . . . . #curiojar #animalbones #witchdecor #altardecor #taxidermy #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #animalbones #ethicalbones #curiocabinet #curiositycollector #deathisbeautiful #deathwitch #animalspirits
Day 2 of Mammal Week is Lagomorphs! 3 of 4 species found in the British Isles European Rabbit Brown Hare Mountain Hare Theres also Irish Hare a subspecies of the Mountain Hare located in Ireland Just 2 of these species are native and thats the Mountain and Irish Hare. The Rabbit was introduced from Europe by Normans and the Brown Hare comes from Asia and was thought to be introduced by Romans. Whilst both are introduced they are considered naturalised. Hares and Rabbits are so different they cant hybridize. Hares are much larger with very long ears and amber coloured eyes, they also dont use burrows. Rabbits however are very social and live in networks of burrows thier smaller stature is adapted for this however these social space make it easy for disease like myxomatosis to take hold. Unfortunately the success of these species amongst other difficulties has made life for our native Hare to be a little more troublesome. The Mountain Hare is now Red Listed in Scotland. They are adapted to upland habitats where thier coats turn white in winter to aid with snow camouflage, they have big furry feet to help them shift to a whopping 45mph across the snow too. Unlike the Brown Hare the eye colour is brown they also have a white tail that lacks a black upper. 23/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
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. 22/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek

Does your dog just wreak havoc with your collection or does he just get stuck in a blanket and headbutt your whole shelf from underneath? 15/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #birdskull
I recently traded a raw stoat I had for this hedgehog skull. Super happy to finally add one to my collection. I’ve had a few RTA hedgehogs and all had broken skulls. This one’s going to be right at home on my shelf 😊 #vultureculture #goblincore #vulturecultureuk #oddities #curiosities

*New Species Alert* Greenfinch! This one took at long time to clean and still isnt perfect gease trapped in the beak posed a difficult problem and after nearly a month in acetone it still isnt fully resolved. Again the Greenfinch is rarely seen round here but its not surprise when it was added to the red list in 2021, Trichomonosis seems to be a significant contribution to that population decline. The males however are a stunning green with striking yellow barring on the wings and tail, the females lack the green and have a dull brown pattern with the yellow tail and wing edges. They are noted as being garden birds, Greenfinch may take up residence in your conifers and as you can tell from the beak are seed eaters and will readily feed and fight at bird tables. Theyre a large finch not one to pick a fight with especially in the winter months where theyll often feed together. Our urban parks and gardens have been a safe haven for them due to food restrictions from changes in farming practices. So keep an eye out in your local area for that flash of yellow as they take off! 15/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #birdskull

Everything is beginning to turn so much greener now it’s spring. Won’t be long until everything will all be hidden underneath this year’s new growth. #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #deerskull #chinesewaterdeer #ukwildlife #ukwoodland #oddities #fallowdeer #muntjac

A couple of badgers from the woods
Found some pheasant feathers today 🪶🪶🪶 #vulturecultureuk #vultureculture #odditiesandcuriosities #skeleton #bonecollector #feathers
Al has been a little naughty and fell into a Temu hole. But they saw something ideal for ecological or dead works. Its sold as a nail varnish thing but the trays are the perfect size for Al vials. Usually if we take skulls places all uses a box with a built in seat but for other events its perfect. This holds all the skulls we usually take and can take more (minus the cow). Im really looking forward to seeing how this holds up 13/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory

There's been a lack of content lately and for that I apologise. Between Al's partner visting soon and planning a Bioblitz in the end of the same week, Al is a little fried. However, inbetween work and organising a big project has been underway. So whilst Al is away on holiday these posts will update themselves to spend as much time having fun as possible without the stresses of spending hours writing posts. A daily post will go out at 12pm and some days another at 2pm and 4pm UK time so please stay tuned and get a little excited for Mammal Week (seriously its been a really long process) Who knows what will happen next! 12/04/24 #vultureculture #vulturecultureuk #bones #skull #skeleton #skullcollecting #curiosities #oddities #taxidermy #skullcollection #skullcleaning #bonecleaning #boneprocessing #macarbe #spooky #gothic #deadanimal #deadwhenwemet #animalskull #osteology #anatomy #naturalhistory #mammalweek
