I've been collecting these oddities for a lifetime. The species that the bacula are from is easily discernable. Additionally, age of the animal is often calculable based on the baculum. Here are some common ones. American badger, raccoon, and river otter. Here are shown fisher. They have a distinctive head (distal end). Wolverines have a reputation for being mean. I'll argue that point, but they must be tough, as I trapped an older adult that had broke his penis in half sometime earlier in his life, and it had healed itself at quite an angle. OUCH! Often, females will sport a "pseudo-baculum" (os clitoris, baubellum). This is a baubellum from a black bear. My coffee table at home displays a few hundred bacula. Quite a conversation-piece when we have guests. Jack Whitman Books for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. Poetic Injustice The Last Hunt Wild Life Long Way Home Fishin' Stories

All the least weasels I've ever had went to museums (in the round) for study skins and skeletons. I have lots of striped skunks though. Last edited by Gulo; 12/15/23 11:54 AM.

Standing in line to pay I noticed the guy behind me had a necklace with a couple raccoon bacula on it. I complemented the guy. The young cashier girl heard me and asked if it was real/true as the guy who had them must have told her previously. I told her they are real. She obviously didn't believe the guy and with me telling her , she was a bit shocked. But now she knew the truth. NRA benefactor member
