Real Horse Skull - Foal

This real foal skull is an exceptional anatomical specimen for comparative anatomy and equine development studies. The specimen captures the distinctive dental characteristics of a young horse, with multiple teeth in active eruption—a key feature for understanding equine ontogeny. This juvenile skull demonstrates the proportional differences between foal and adult morphology, making it ideal for educational contexts examining growth patterns and skeletal maturation in Equus ferus caballus.

Horses have been used by man for thousands of years for transportation and as beasts of burden. They are browsers that feed on grasses and other vegetation. Horses are thought to have been domesticated between 4,000 to 6,000 years ago from wild equids native to Asia.
