I have a Comparative Vertebrate Morphology Practical at 4 this afternoon. I pretty much have to know everything about skeletons ever. My question is, cat skeleton or snapping turtle skeleton, which is more awesome?

Cat skeleton. The only thing that comes close in pure awesomeness is a dromaeosaur skeleton.

I think bear skeletons are pretty awesome.

Turtle skeletons are obviously more awesome. ... I guess it really depends on which one you're more familiar with; for me, mammals are like "meh, seen one seen all (except for whales, dolphins and seals)".

So hey... what's the traditional method to un-catch a snapping turtle?

Turtle skeletons == Armored Monstrosity

Kitten Skeletons == Miniature Switchblade Killing Machine

There's a whole lot of awesome there to try to pick from, but I'm going to have to go for the kitten skeleton.

Why? Although turtles have had an ideal configuration for millions of years, my (well fed) cat licks its chops hungrily whenever it sees my turtle, completely despite the armored plating.

Op here. This is a tough call for me, cat skeletons remind me of the some sort of wicked alien creature (especially with that awesome curved spine, and the claws look so much bigger in skeleton form). but I have a snapping turtle as a pet, and their skulls are really awesome, they have huge sites for muscle attachment, which is probably why they bite so hard. I'm gonna go with cat skeleton though for pure awesome.

wouldn't you have to KILL A KITTEN in order to fawn over how awesome the skeleton is? you fucking bastards!

At some point there would be a dead cat involved, but a great many of the "skeletons" used for vet schools and museums and such are plastic copies of the real thing...as real skeletons are very expensive due to the meticulous cleaning and preparation required. Nowadays most are plastic models.

the skeletons used in my lab are real, but Im guessing they were probably cats that were euthanized at animal shelters, I can't imagine that they raise cats just to get skeletons. and besides they probably sold the meat to chinese restraunts.

If you ever get the chance to get a good look at a Tyrannosaurus skull, take it. The muscle attachment sites aren't as overblown as in snapping turtles, but just looking at the skull makes you realize how insanely powerful killing machine that beast was.

I havent had a chance to look at a tyranosaurus skull, but My boss/professor has a very accurate cast of a veloceraptor skull, its pretty impressive as well. PS the little grey and white fella in the picture is also a killing machine, his name is Jack.
