Description
Bushbaby adult skull replica measures 1.7 x 1.0 x 0.9 inches. Galagos senegalensis skull is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The full-grown Galagos possess a skeletal structure that specifically supports their high-speed, nocturnal lifestyle in the African canopy. This museum-quality replica brings the massive, forward pointing eye sockets into sharp focus, which allow these primates to navigate effectively in near-total darkness.
Because researchers utilized this model to study sensory development, it remains a vital pied for understanding the Strepsirrhini suborder. Furthermore, the lower jaw features a specialized dental comb that the animal uses for both social grooming and harvesting thick tree sap.

We recommend revolutionizing your osteological gallery by paring this specimen with the Red-eared monkey adult skull replica, the Red-shanked douc langur adult skull replica, or the Pygmy chimpanzee adult male skull replica. Since these biological cousins conquered vastly different environmental frontiers, displaying them together unearths the radical branching of the primate family tree. Moreover, these Galago casts will enthrall your guests.
