Description
Pygmy slow loris skull replica measures 2.0 x 1.3 x 1.1 inches. Nycticebus pygmaeus skull is a museum-quality polyurethane cast from a California Academy of Sciences specimen. Two-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The pygmy slow loris skull highlights the skeletal modifications of a early primate. This cast shows the high-cusped molars that allow the animal to chew through tough chitin and vegetation. Because the species exhibits a cautious climbing style, the skull base is reinforced for better muscular anchoring.
The zygomatic arches flare outward to provide ample space for the muscles involved in deep-pressure biting. Also, the mastoid region houses complex structures that assist with sound localization. These features enable the anima to navigate dense vegetation without relying on speed.
