Due to the amount of wilderness hiking I do with my significant other, we often come across creatures who have died and left only their bones behind. After cleaning and soaking them in a peroxide mixture, they are ready to dry in the sun, be photographed and sold on ebay. One of my finds (a wild pecarry skull) sold to a classroom in Nebraska. Some of my finds have ended up in Nova Scotia.One collection went overseas to a dept. of defense classroom. It's always interesting. Art teachers need these things too, for drawing class.
