SCORPION SKELETON???

It sure is. I can't resist collecting the really stupid ones. Here's a better look

With ribs all the way down. xD

Even if it were accurate, it still wouldn’t be accurate.

There is a reptile cannel on YouTube (think it's called clint's reptiles), that does annual skeleton reviews for halloween. The worst I can remember are where snail and octopus.

Omg. xD

Octopus, an animal famous for having no skeleton.

At least scorpions actually do have skeletons, just not endoskeletons.

Ironically accurate comment...

Easy solution: They're not skeletons, they're bone golems. They don't need to be anatomically correct because they weren't left behind by a living creature but rather crafted by a necromancer to fulfill a specific purpose.

I love the animals with bone ears. Dogs, cats, rats. Should have people with bone ears on the sides of their skulls. That would be fantastic.

Looks oddly specific to my Sainsbury's but also the spider skeleton is clearly the one

You silly goose, that's obviously an iguana, you can tell by the pincers.

Ma'am, I am a professor in spider skeletons I would think I know one when I see one.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Wow, I've never seen a spider-skeleton-ologist in the wild before!

Wow, there's still some shelf space left in-between Christmas stuff in your store?
