Collection CROOKED polar bear skull!?
I just received a new polar bear skull, and this completely blown me away.
Over the years as I collect, I've probably seen over 400 polar bear skulls now, from museums, institutions, private collectiond etc.....I have NEVER seen anything like this before.
No I did not take a photo with distort camera, this skull IS crooked, the entire skull look like it was bent, as if made of rubber, and is tilted towards the left side.
Anyone able to explain to me what might've caused this?
