Cougar skull

Description

A cougar skull has been high on my list of "holy grail" finds for my little natural history collection. So imagine my surprise when I discovered one being sold at a rock bottom price that I could actually afford.

It came from an adult female cat. Her cause of death is unknown, but there is damage on the skull where her cranium was cut off to remove the brains and then glued back on. I suspect that her body went to some form of research purposes for that reason. Her lower jaw is missing and she has small hairline cracks in her big scary fangs but it's still a beautiful skull.

I took it down to the nearby park to get a photo of it in a more natural setting.
