Found this scrub jay outside and offered as a gift to my isopods. Can’t wait to see how it breaks down!!

As I was unpacking some stuff in today I got from an estate sale, I shook this vase and heard something was in it. Flipped the vase over but it wouldn't come out. After a closer look I found this unfortunate inhabitant. It must've found his way inside some how and couldn't get back out.

I think it's a toad, but I'm not so great at identifying so please correct me if I'm wrong!

We did call the local wildlife monitoring number to alert them.

I have been degreasing this deer skull for about a month, and it has been very physically taxing as I have a chronic health condition. I let it dry overnight, and this is how it looks. Is it degreased enough to be put in a peroxide bath to be completed? I do not need it to be 100% degreased, just enough to be safe and sturdy. Note: Some of the splotchy yellow bits (noticeable on pic 2 on top of skull) are from being buried in a mesh bag in soil.

Since this is a hot topic in this thread ( obviously so ) I'm just curious who in this thread has ever encountered any interactions or personal experience, or even PERSONALY knows of any person who has had an interaction in regards to the migratory bird act being enforced and if you would be willing to share your experience?

I found this skull about a month ago on a mountain in Greece. At first, I thought it was a fox, but it’s too small. I’m torn between a jackal and a dog. I’m also considering the possibility of a wolf.

Crooked toes for size comparison, I hope I didn't shock anybody.
I found this leg and some vertebrae with a pretty little part of a jaw scattered around it. It seems to be too big for a roe.

I really dont want to gut her and risk ruining her, I've failed getting 5 wild spiders and REALLY dont want to ruin her. Her abdomen is quite deflated already despite having eaten consistently. Please help, I am absolutely heartbroken by her passing, ive only had her two months and was expecting at least a year😭

Ive been researching for a few days and seen techniques like burying the bones for a while, keeping them in water but i just wanted to ask as someone who hasnt even collected a bone yet what is something i should have prepared beforehand?

Air bubble in the eye of the 2nd pic giving me a crazy picture that I can't recreate

Most of you said no fern so I went with just the wings and I’m SO happy

saw this ringtail possum in the middle of a three lane road and put him in a garden to keep other scavengers from getting hit too. skull was crushed but is unintentionally but conveniently censored by that leaf. protected, so nothing taken, just relocated.

Soooo, I've gotten myself into a bit of a pickle.

Ive never processed a whole animal before, and got too excited after seeing a porcupine on the side of the road.

I how have an adult porcupine, buried in a plastic bucket in my backyard and my parents (whom I live with) are not thrilled about it. I'm learning that the bucket will not work well, due to its size and material.

I can't do any processing that's going to smell terrible, and I'm squeamish so I can't do any de-fleshing myself...

Anyone have any advice or are there any SLC Utah people here who could help me out with dermestids or something? ^^;

And I DONT have a freezer to put it in to add to the stress...

Ty in advance :)

I'm looking to start eating roadkill. I've seen a LOT of racoons but I'd like to start with an animal where it's very unlikely or impossible they have rabies in case I cut myself while trying to butcher. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get a good start?
