Spotted Hyena Skull #00064

This is the skull of a spotted hyena!

The spotted hyena is a large feliform carnivore native to sub-Saharan Africa. The species has an undeserved bad reputation as a cowardly scavenger. In reality, spotted hyenas are active hunters and highly intelligent with complex social lives. Hyena skulls are highly coveted and getting harder to find.
Solid and heavy with a beautiful aged patina, this is an excellent large adult example of the species. It is missing a few teeth, but still makes for an impressive display piece. It measures 11 inches long and 7 inches wide. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
This specimen is not from an ESA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
