Skunk Skull BC-148E $48.00 Order This / View Your Cart Black with wide, white stripes from head to tail and a thin white stripe on the muzzle, the Striped Skunk is found from Central Canada to Northern Mexico. This mammal's most well-known characteristic is its ability to emit a foul-smelling musk when threatened or attacked. Not as widely known is that once the odor has been removed, this same musk is used as a perfume base due to its clinging properties. Skunks are also resistant to snake venom. There have been cases of skunks surviving up to 10 times the amount of venom needed to kill another animal of similar size. Their chief predator is the Great Horned Owl (see our: BC-072), which appears to be immune to the skunk's spray. The Striped Skunk is distinct from other carnivores in that it has only 1 molar on each side of the upper jaw and 2 molars on each side of the lower jaw. The upper molars have a characteristic square shape. The Bone Clones® Economy Series - Our goal with this series is to produce affordable quality replicas for zoos, museum discovery centers, schools, artists, etc., so that a new generation of enthusiasts can learn about nature. All Bone Clones® Economy Series skulls are made from the same molds, following the same procedures as our regular Bone Clones® replicas except we do not tool or finish these skulls to the same detail. We still select only the finest specimens to cast, and carefully prepare each mold to capture the original's structure and texture. We presently offer some common North American animals and select human sets in this series. View The Economy Series Catalog, Click Here.
