Description
Patas male monkey skull replica measures 5.9 x 3.4 x 3.5 inches. Erythrocebus patas 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 skull is a sub-adult male.
The male patas monkey skull features a refined, elongated facial structure and a remarkably lightweight cranium. It showcases exceptionally long, dagger-like canines.
They have forward-facing orbits typical of all cercopithecids. The dental arrangement is thirty-two teeth, including four sharp canine teeth.
Additionally, male patas skulls exhibit hypertrophy in the midfacial region when compared to female skulls. This growth pattern results in a snout that is notably more robust and elongated. The canines are not only long but also are also thick at the base.
