I got this from a hunting site I'm a member of. It was done by the daughter of another member. Painstaking job I would think.

Nope, dermestid beetles actually. These little flesh eating buggers eat every thing bar the bones. They are used a lot in the taxidermy trade in the US. The bones are then cleaned/degreased (if needed) whitened and glued back into place. Like a big jigsaw. Bloody big fangs but hey :shock:
 
That'd take ages to glue back together! Amazing stuff - check out the fangs!, I'd love to have something like that say on my coffee table!
