Description
Bush dog female skull replica measures 5.1 x 3.2 x 2.8 inches. Speothos venaticus skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
A deep and massive frame makes up the skull. Unlike generalist canids, the head displays a compact structure with a small forehead. The shortened snout provides the lever action for a powerful bite. This rise from the muzzle to the forehead sits at a steep angle to support high stresses during hunting.
They feature a very short snout. Due to this tight shape, the muzzle takes on a blunt and heavy appearance. The skull withstands head shaking and stabbing actions required for hunting and killing their prey quicly.
