Real Lion Skull (Juvenile)

A young feline undergoing tooth replacement: Lions are classified as a protected species under CITES II and are subject to species protection. Our specimens come from zoos or from imports with confirmed origins. These animals have died either from old age or from natural accidents. This young lion, for example, could have been attacked by a buffalo or a larger antelope. The hole in the skull is not from a gunshot, but from a sharp object like a horn. A gunshot would have damaged the skull more severely.

Instead of disposing of the carcasses, SWISSskulls purchases these specimens and processes them into collector's items for enthusiasts who dream of such large cats. The skull itself is usually not particularly expensive, but significant costs are incurred for transportation, veterinary examinations, and other processing before the skull is even ready for sale.
