Baculum Replicas

Baculum Replicas are museum quality polyurethane resin castings created from real ethnically obtained specimens from museums. Baculum Replicas are Made in USA.

The Baculum or bacula, also known as the penis bone, penile bone, os penis, os genitale, or os priapi, is a bone in the penis of many placental mammals.

The baculum or bacula present in the penises of some primates, such as the gorilla and the chimpanzee.

The baculum arises from primordial cells in soft tissues of the penis, and its formation is largely influenced by androgens.

The bone lies above the urethra, and it aids sexual reproduction by maintaining stiffness during sexual penetration.

Most male mammals have penis bones, but no two species’ are alike. They vary widely in shape and size. Some are spiked or barbed; some are curved.

They’re not proportional to an animal’s size, either; a gorilla’s baculum is just a few millimeters long, but a dog’s can reach three inches.

The fossilized penis bone of a walrus was auctioned off for $8000 to the company that runs the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museums. At four-and-a-half-feet long, the bone is believed to be the largest mammal penis fossil in the world.

Raccoon penis bones are considered by some in the South to be lucky charms. The little bones are also known as coon dogs, Texas toothpicks, and Abrahams. Southerners wear them on necklaces and earrings, keep them in their pockets, and even include them in bridal bouquets
