Presenting the Bone Clones Large Mammal Skulls, high-quality anatomical replicas ideal for veterinary and zoology students, researchers, and educators.
The Siberian (Gray) Wolf Skull is a 2-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw, which is also available individually. The Siberian wolf (also called the gray or timber wolf) is the largest of the canid species, reaching over 6 feet in length and weighing up to 120 lbs. Native to the Holarctic region, gray wolves are highly social animals that live in structured packs and hunt both alone and cooperatively. This model highlights strong dentition and anatomical accuracy.
The Dire Wolf Skull is a 2-part replica model available in an Antique or Tarpit finish. The Dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) lived during the Pleistocene and coexisted with gray wolves for approximately 100,000 years in North America. Heavier and more robust than the gray wolf, it had a larger skull, broader snout, and more massive teeth, but a smaller braincase. DNA analysis has confirmed that the dire wolf represents a distinct evolutionary lineage. This model is based on a specimen recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits.
The Kodiak Grizzly Bear Skull is a 2-part replica model cast from a male specimen from Kodiak Island, Alaska. The Kodiak bear is one of the largest terrestrial carnivores on Earth, growing up to 10 feet in length, standing 12 feet tall, and weighing as much as 1,300 lbs. This skull captures the scale and detail of a mature male, reflecting the power and size of this subspecies.
The Black Bear Skull (Economy Version) is a 2-part replica model, cast from the same moulds as the standard version but produced with simplified detailing for educational affordability. American black bears are widespread across North America from Alaska to Mexico. They are agile climbers and fast runners, typically reaching 6 feet in length and over 300 pounds in weight. Their long snouts, rounded ears, and relatively small eyes are accurately represented in this educational replica.
The Short-faced Bear Skull is a 2-part replica model representing the extinct Arctodus simus species. This enormous bear species lived from Mexico to Alaska during the Pleistocene and stood nearly 12 feet tall. Closely related to Andean bears, it had long limbs and a robust build. This replica was cast from a specimen found in Alaska, and includes reconstructed elements based on original fossil remains. The upper canines are removable for closer study.
The Polar Bear Skull is a 2-part replica model from one of the largest polar bears on record. Adapted for life in the Arctic, polar bears possess large paws for swimming, thick insulating fat, and translucent eyelids that protect their eyes in snow glare. Males can weigh up to 1,600 lbs. This replica captures the anatomical adaptations that allow these apex predators to thrive in one of Earth’s harshest climates.
The Harbor Seal Skull is a 2-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw, which is also available individually. Harbor seals (also known as spotted seals) inhabit the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and are the most common pinnipeds. They grow up to 6 feet in length and can weigh up to 375 lbs. This replica provides an excellent study model of pinniped cranial features.
The White-tailed Deer Doe Skull (Economy Version) is a 2-part replica model designed for cost-effective instruction. White-tailed deer are the most common ungulates in North America and a primary target for hunters. Only males grow antlers. The skull exhibits the herbivore's side-to-side chewing mechanism, with a loose articulation between the jaw and cranium that enables grinding motion. This version retains major anatomical features with simplified neural passage detail.
The Bottlenose Dolphin Skull is a 2-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw, which is also available individually. The bottlenose dolphin (famous as “Flipper”) is the largest of the beaked dolphins, measuring 8–12 feet long. Found in tropical and temperate coastal waters, they use echolocation to hunt and navigate. The skull includes 18–28 sharp conical teeth on each side of the jaw and is ideal for studying cetacean cranial structure.
The Southern Tamandua Skull is a 1-part replica model with the jaw permanently affixed to the cranium. The southern tamandua is a medium-sized arboreal xenarthran native to South America and a close relative of the anteater. Adults range from 21–31 inches in body length, with an additional 15–23 inch prehensile tail, and weigh around 10 pounds. The skull is elongated and narrow, with a reduced mandible and no teeth. Like all tamanduas, they are edentulous and rely on an extremely long, sticky tongue (reaching up to 40 cm) to capture ants and termites. This model is ideal for studying specialized adaptations in insectivorous mammals.
