SKU: neopotb

Neonatal skull from a 3 day old Pot Bellied Pig which died of natural causes on a farm in the US.

The skull is only about 2 1/2 inches long and shows all of the undeveloped and erupting teeth.

A wonderful educational skull!

Skulls from animals this young are very delicate and hard to beetle clean, as the beetle can damage the fine, thin and delicate bone.

Pot-bellied pigs can be easily discerned from other pig breeds by their size, upright ears and straight tail. Pigs with fat rolls over their eyes or a belly that touches the ground are easy visual indicators that the pig is overweight. Although they have a pot belly and a swayed back, it is not indicative of weight. Pigs in proper weight still have the sway and belly, but the hip bones can easily be felt with minimal pressure and the eyes (whole socket) should be easily visible
