"Freeze-Dried Specimens"

Komodo dragons, endemic to a few small islands in Indonesia, are the largest of the world's lizards (this specimen is approximately 10 feet long).

This impressive plastic skull of the Indonesian Pongo pygmaeus, the 'old man of the forest', has been re-created from an adult male specimen.

These skulls are the next best thing to a natural bone specimen.

A specimen of a common nonvenomous genus such as Thamnophis, this large, unmounted snake skull is ideal for up-close examination; its hinged jaws can be used to demonstrate how snakes swallow large prey.

The age of the skull was determined by reference to the natural bone specimen. All the deciduous (baby teeth) are present in the upper and lower jaws.

Now you can bring some of the finest museum-quality specimens into your classroom at an economical cost with WARD'S life-like fossil reproductions. Nearly all of the reproductions in this impressive series are cast in durable plastic resin, and are hand-painted in colors designed to capture every detail of the original.

The dentition development model is cast from a natural specimen, 4 upper and lower jaw halves, 4 different stages of dentition development: New born, Approx. 5-year old child, Approx. 9-year old child, Young adult Dentition development model on a stand.

Once on the brink of extinction with only 800 pairs, they have been increasing steadily, now with close to 3000 breeding pairs. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Vertebrate Zoology Department at the Santa Barbara Museum of natural history for lending us this fine specimen from their collection. The bald eagle is federally protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Act and by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This cast would be a great addition to any biology, zoology or ornithology program studying comparative bird skeletal anatomy.
