  I hadn't considered that Christine. Is it really? Come to think of it, all the hours I spent wandering woods in Pennsylvania and this was the only one I saw. I did find a raccoon skull, nicely aged and clean. I chanced bringing that back to Australia, declaring it of course, and staff let it through. Posted 4 years ago

    It is rare, for me at least. I rarely see carcasses or bones in the woods. Predators break the bones down pretty well, in order to get to the marrow. And, scavengers and decomposers work fast. Nothing goes to waste in nature!
    
    How cool that you got to take a raccoon skull home! Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
