Bone Clones

There are lots of ways to learn more about wild animals without actually seeing them in the wild or in captivity. A great way to discover more is by investigating the skeleton of an animal. In our Keep It Wild workshops all the skulls and bones we use are from Bone Clones (http://www.boneclones.com/).

Bone Clones provides museum-quality skull- and skeleton- replicas that are virtually indistinguishable from the originals. No real bone material is used in their replicas, so no animals died in the process.

Kids are always excited about the chance to examine a skull, study and count the teeth, peer into the brain cavity, run a finger along the sagittal crest, poke a finger into an eye orbit, and marvel at the sinus cavity. And of course, with a polar bear skull, they all imagine being bitten by those enormous canine teeth!
