Real Squirrel Skull Set

This real squirrel skull set presents four distinct squirrel species, each representing different ecological niches within the Sciuridae family. Prevost's Squirrel showcases the larger tree squirrel morphology, while the three ground squirrel specimens—Richardson's, Thirteen-lined, and Golden Mantled—demonstrate the skeletal adaptations characteristic of burrowing species. The progression in size and cranial structure illustrates comparative anatomy across squirrel lineages, making this set valuable for educational comparison, osteological study, and museum-quality display. Museum provenance and period documentation enhance its authenticity for serious collectors and educators.

Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents
