Reviving the Dead

After a very scary shipping snafu that has since been rectified, the two headed lamb skull has arrived. This poor wee lamb(s) as born sleeping as a result of this birth defect. While some Janus faced animals do rarely survive for a good while, the majority of them have defects incompatible with life and won't live more than a few hours if at all.

I completely forgot about posting this and didn't get proper documentation photos but that's ok, I got process photos to show at least :)

The skull of a two-toed sloth.

Sharp fangs are not exclusive to predators. These animals, like their armored relatives (Cingulata), have teeth that grow continuously and lack enamel; by grinding against each other, they become pointed. The tannins in the leaves they feed on make them turn almost black.

Oh, and they also have impressive claws…

Absolutely enamoured with this snail mug I got yesterday....
