Presenting the Bone Clones Wild Cat Skulls, intricately designed replica skull models tailored to meet the requirements of veterinary and zoology students and professionals.
The Extra Large African Lion Skull was moulded from a male specimen and showcases natural anatomical features, including the absence of both maxillary molars. African lions (Panthera leo) inhabit the savannahs and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa and are the most social of all big cats. They typically live in prides made up of related females, their offspring, and one or more males. Males are easily recognized by their manes. Lions rest or relax for nearly 20 hours a day. Males rarely live past 10 years in the wild; females may live up to 15.
The American Lion Skull is a 2-part replica skull available in both a Tarpit finish (pictured stand sold separately) and an Antique finish. Panthera atrox, the largest lion species to have ever lived, weighed an estimated 900 pounds. This extinct predator was about one-third larger than the African lion, with longer legs and a broader muzzle. Likely possessing a mane and tufted tail, this 14,000-year-old specimen originated from the La Brea Tar Pits.
The Jaguar Skull is a two-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw. The jaguar (Panthera onca), the largest cat in the Americas, is a powerful swimmer and climber. Its muscular, compact build, short tail, and robust skull distinguish it from the leopard. Jaguars inhabit dense forests near water and prey on a wide range of animals, from peccaries to crocodilians. They are unique among big cats for killing with a direct bite through the skull. This skull is from a very large male with excellent dentition.
The African Leopard Skull is a 2-part replica model, cast from a male specimen. The leopard (Panthera pardus) ranges across both Africa and Asia. These solitary, mostly nocturnal cats are excellent climbers and are known for their spotted coats, which may appear almost solid black in some individuals, these are often referred to as "panthers."
The Cheetah Skull is a two-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw, which is also available individually. Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 55 mph. They inhabit scattered regions across sub-Saharan Africa, with a critically small population remaining in Iran. Their slim build, long legs, and flexible spine aid in their sprinting ability. Adaptations like enlarged nasal passages and short-rooted canines allow them to breathe efficiently while grasping prey.
The Bobcat Skull is a 2-part replica model, cast from a male specimen. The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is widespread in North America, from southern Canada to southern Mexico. Although smaller than cougars, bobcats are successful predators of small mammals and birds. They are solitary, nocturnal, and adaptable to a range of environments.
The Siberian Tiger Skull is a 2-part replica model, cast from a male specimen. Pictured stand sold separately. The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), the largest of all tiger subspecies, is found in the forests of eastern Russia and north-eastern China. These stealthy nocturnal hunters were nearly driven to extinction due to hunting and habitat loss.
The Cougar Skull is a two-part replica model, comprising the cranium and jaw. Also known as the mountain lion, puma, or catamount, the cougar (Puma concolor) is native to a wide range of habitats across North and South America. Despite its large size, the cougar cannot roar and instead communicates with screams and other vocalizations.
