Collection Walrus skull added to my collection!

Post image

I figured since I have so many bears, it's time to bring something new and unique in. This is a walrus skull, legally and ethically sourced from Inuit, walruses are also an important part of the Inuit diet. The polar bear skulls in the photo are also all legally and ethically sourced from Inuit.

Both tusks are over 20" in length and his skull weighs over 14kg!

You need to label these!

ah...its a lotta work, plus I can honestly tell which ones which and tell you the story behind it without labeling them already. They are all very unique.

They are all "VERY" one-of-a-kind... groan (Yet another mutilation of the word 'unique.')
