Description
Sooty mangabey female skull replica measures 4.7 x 3.0 x 3.1 inches. Cercocebus atys 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.
This cranium displays a gracile build with a slightly shorter muzzle. Strong bone architecture supports the deep areas for chewing muscles. Accordingly, the jaw houses heavy-duty molars to crush hard nut shells. The orbits show a distinct oval shape with thin ridges. Thus, the specimen serves as a perfect example of female morphology.

Paring the sooty mangabey female skull replica with the sooty mangabey male skull replica creates a complete set. This setup shows the clear size gap between the two sexes. Accordingly, the northern woolly spider monkey skull replica shows a long cranium bult for life in the high trees.
Likewise, the common woolly monkey male skull replica offers a look at a globular braincase from a different primate branch. Instead of looking at just one region, collectors can study these Asian and South American specimens together for zoological studies.
