Bone Monger
I am a collector.
And things, well things, they tend to accumulate.'
Carol | 20 | Scotland, UK
Bone collector, wannabe amateur taxidermist, wildlife photographer, bird watcher and zoology student.
On my blog you can find posts about: Bone collecting (mostly skulls), Taxidermy, Wildlife and Landscape photography, Animals, Plants, Scotland, and lots more!
Disclaimer: All my skulls, bones and taxidermy animals are found either as roadkill, have been killed by predators or have died at sea and been washed up on beaches, nothing is harmed for the purpose of having it!
If you have any questions related to anything don't be scared to ask me anything!

Allosaurus fed more like a falcon than a crocodile.

Carrion Flower (Huernia zebrina)
Succulents of the genus Huernia produce flowers which exude a strong rotten scent similar to carrion. This attracts flies, which pollinate the flowers as they search for the source of the odour.

the plants name is called “makahiya” and hiya in tagalog means “shy”.
whenever you touch the plants leaves, they immediately fold up together looking as if its really shy hence the name.
… A plant just described my life.
