Museum of Osteology

One of the places we visited while in Oklahoma City was the Museum of Osteology. It was on one of the "fun places to visit" lists I found online and they were right! It's basically a building full of animal skeletons. Everything from the smallest shrew to the biggest whale.

There on the front door was an interesting sign that I had to read twice because it seemed so out of place on the front door of a museum:

 We asked the lady at the front desk about it and she said they mount heads as well as do the "cleaning" of animal kills. And by cleaning I mean they literally let beetles clean all the flesh from the bone. They had a display case right in the entry way of the building with two skulls being cleaned by the beetles, a bobcat on the left and a coyote on the right. Creepy yet fascinating.
