These little super-detailed life sized bat skull replicas are the perfect pieces for your studies of anatomy or as display pieces in your collection of tiny curios. Most of these are printed from models made with CT scans, and are highly detailed and as anatomically accurate as possible. They're hollow and when held up to the light you can see the delicate interior structures of the skull (these are most visible in the white unpainted version, which allows light to pass through cleanly). They're about as close to the real thing as you can get without any dead bats! (Why buy replicas? Learn more about the ethics of collecting bats here!)

PHOTOS OF NEW SPECIES COMING SOON! More species will also be listed on a separate product page coming soon.

These are also available ready to display in protective and attractive glass domes! Want even more bat skulls, from tiny life sized to unsettlingly large? Check out my full range of bat skull replicas!

Note for educators: Because these replicas are fairly fragile just like real bat skulls, I wouldn't recommend them for direct handling for students under university age. (Of the options available, the closed-mouth versions of the vampire bat, spectral bat, and great fruit-eating bat are the most sturdy, but "sturdy" isn't really a word I'd apply to these in general.) If you'd like to use them for education there may be display options like frames or display cases that will allow for close examination without students directly handling the delicate pieces; contact me and we can talk about your specific needs.
