How to Clean a Bat Skull!

My father majored in fisheries and wildlife in college and he cannot resist a good dead animal find. So when my grandfather found a dead bat underneath his end table, he promptly cut off it's head and put it in a mason jar of water. Queue one month later and here we are to remove its skin.

What you'll need:

One skull (we used bat)
Hydrogen peroxide
Tweezers
Rubber gloves
A strong stomach

Carefully peel the skin off the skull, making sure to keep the jawbone attached. Soak the skull in hydrogen peroxide until it is adequately bleached. Leave in the sun for a few days until it is thoroughly dried. Enjoy on a shelf, in a glass case, or on a necklace!

Bat head, ears included.

The skull soaks in hydrogen peroxide.

So little!
