Although i havnt got a cats skull, what is the one far right in the middle pik? Also is it a regular cats skull or something like bobcat or lynx?
I have a bit of Taxidermy myself, not so much on the skulls, more the skins. Mind you im not a evil animal butcher, there all feral animals from around the world. Im not much into the animal farming to be butchered for their skins.
My favorite one in my collection is my opossums from the US. |

It costs $40 for 1, and $40 for 100 skulls/furs.
Best to look for museam quality ones to start with as they have the fancy export permits etc.
You can find quite alot on ebay, but find a big seller that has heaps of different stuff, to save on post.
Only weird skull i have is a dog, which i found under a old car on the property. |
