I keep thinking it is a badger, but a woodchuck is cool. I've seen those in the wild. So where do you get these dead mammal parts for the series? Are you moonlighting as a crew that scoops up roadkill to supplement your men income?
I'm disappointed by the lack of instructions on flesh removal. At my last apartment I left a bird carcass that only had a tiny bit of flesh left on it soaking in lye for months (where I forgot about it) until I moved. When I opened it up, there was still flesh and the smell was unbearable. I ended up leaving it for my particularly unsavory landlord to deal with.
I'm so happy that there's a new series of The 'Possum Head Chronicles! I'm a bit disappointed that there won't be any chunky bits floating about in the brine this time, but it looks like it's still a serviceable skull.
We found a mummified possum under my house last year. If only I'd known that there would be a successful series of web videos about them in the future, I'd have left it under there for safekeeping and then mailed it to you this year. Since all of the possum's bones were intact inside its dessicated body, you could have reconstructed it like a tiny dinosaur in a museum!
I'll admit that I have a soft spot for varmints. I feed a rather mangy looking possum and a few raccoons from time-to-time by way of trying to feed the three stray cats that live in my back yard. At first I was kind of miffed that the varmints were stealing food, but I finally decided that a hungry mouth is a hungry mouth...it doesn't really matter what kind of critter it is. Plus, raccoons really know how to push the cute button.
Honestly, I think the varmints and I get along so well because we're all members in the opposable thumbs club. Well, that, and because I feed them.
Why are we playing with decapitated possum heads? Not since witnessing "cowboys" needlessly torturing farm animals in rodeos have I seen such peculiar behavior.
And let me tell you, once you see a grown man strangle a calf and put women's panties on it you never forget...
Damn, that thing's got some huge teeth!

@Pamtha I've seen them "in the wild too" . If you consider my garden wild, that is.

ChunkyBitz disappointed at the lack of chunky bits, why am I not surprised
So what are you doing with all these skulls? Decorating your office or living room?
