    Description

    A real bone skull of an African SOUTHERN NEEDLE CLAWED BUSHBABY or GALAGO (
    Euoticus elegantulus
    ).  The skull was beetle cleaned and whitened with a strong peroxide.  The skull is complete with mandible, although I have not glued this to the cranium.  It is also complete with all teeth and nasal scrolling. There is no damage that I can see--making this a SPECTACULAR specimen!  Please note there may be other flaws or damage that I do not notice as this was once a living thing, and living things rarely show perfection in death.  That being said--this is an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND RARE skull to find. The skull measures just over 5 cm long and is a larger adult animal.  It is sturdy and could be a good hands-on model for teaching, for the collection or the curio cabinet. This is your chance to get a very unusual animal--and a prosimian on top of it (a difficult family to obtain specimens).  These are absolutely adorable skulls--the large eyes give it such charm.  For the collector this is a special little skull and species--don't let it pass by, it is my last one at this time!
    Please note that this is not listed as an endangered species by the IUCN.  It is however a CITES II species, as all primates are, and as such I will ONLY ship within the United States! Furthermore, it was not taken specifically for its skull, but is a by-product of a deceased animal, making it perfectly legal to own and sell this skull within the United States.  I am sorry I cannot and will absolutely not Ship Internationally.
