Description
Siamang gibbon male skull replica measures 5.5 x 4.0 x 3.5 inches. Symphalangus syndactylus skull is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from the California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The cranium exhibits a dense bone structure with a noticeably recessed forehead. Thickened orbital rims withstand the mechanical stress of powerful jaw closures. Accordingly, the sagittal region lacks a central crest.
The bone surface is board across the temporal planes to accommodate natural chewing forces. Furthermore, the dental arrangement includes long upper canines that fit into deep lower gaps. Thus, the bone structure is a primary example of specialized facial shortening.
