Real Rat Skull - Bone Infection

These real rat skulls showcase a pathological condition rarely seen in skeletal collections—a bone infection localized to the dental region. This makes each skull an exceptional educational resource for studying infectious disease progression in rodent anatomy. The cavity formation demonstrates how bacterial or fungal infection compromises bone density and structure, offering valuable insight into comparative pathology and veterinary medicine applications.

The term "rat" applies to the larger members of the Muridae family. Rats are distinguished from mice by their size comparison. The most common rat species are the black rat and the brown rat, which live everywhere in the world except for Antarctica.
