For the frog skeleton, easy reason for the legs to be right could be that the artist has had frog legs before, not necessarily french and that's also cajun I think that most of the bone ears are more because they're decorations, mainly to make it possible to differentiate between them there. Also, there's the newer Unicorn and the Dragon ones from the last few years that are popping up...though the unicorn is, basically, Dollar Tree's version of a zombie my little pony unicorn

@abbym9954 Год назад

I'll admit, I have a big fondness for plastic skeletons like the frog, which just look like "a frog made of bone" instead of "the skeleton of a frog". That's because I like to corpse them. Using layers of tissue, glue, latex, cotton, and a lot of paint, I stretch artificial skin back over the plastic skeleton to make zombie creatures... and those incorrect skeletons just sort of meet me in the middle when it comes to that process! Somehow, though, I suspect I'm not actually their target audience.

These skeletons are like the polar opposite of shrinkwrapped dinosaurs. Both exist so we can recognise what the animal is in a way we're not used to seeing them at the extent of accuracy, but shrinkwrapping removes features, while decorative skeletons adds extraneous ones.

I have a friend who collects these skeletons. He loves them. He has a whole lore for them and everything. Makes a really cool youtube series with them. In his mind, these skeletons don't have to be anatomically correct as they're more of a skeletal-ized version of that creature rather than that creature's actual skeleton.

That depends on the dragon. I would assume Asian dragons which lack wings would look a lot like primitive snakes though with much more durable bones. Wyverns, cockatrices, and basilisks would probably look like birds with more bat like wings. I have no idea what a six limbed European dragon would look like given they would need two pairs of shoulders alongside their massive bird-like keel to support flight. Maybe whatever substance that they breath out as fire causes them to be nearly as light as air like a hydrogen balloon.

Theory 1: the merskeleton is from a merman. Merfolk might have more sexually dimorphic pelvises than humans do, although live birth is still hard to imagine working for them. Theory 2: merfolk lay eggs. (He covered that theory later in the video) This would be easier to do with a fish tail. Theory 3: About the asymmetrical tail, the vertibrae are attached as though this tail is meant to be used up and down, like a whale. You have to twist it one way or the other to use the fin from side to side. This particular merperson was probably disabled and dependent on a sense of community in other, non-disabled merfolk to care for it. So, can some form of pollution or mercury poisoning cause asymmetrical fish?

@achristiananarchist2509 Год назад

I have a guess as to what happened with a bat. Those weird fused fingers look a little like the carpometacarpus (fused hand bones) on a bird wing. Most of these bat skeletons ignore the carpals and metacarpals altogether, which isn't really surprising because they are itty bitty on bats, but birds have fused hand bones and fused fingers, and the fused hand bones look a lot like those weird bat fingers. It looks like they either looked at a bird wing instead of a bat wing and then just sort of tacked on the rest, or they consciously tried to build some sort of weird monstrosity that was a fusion of a bird wing and a bat wing. Edit: So the most likely explanation for this weirdness just occurred to me, and now I think it's actually the same situation as with the frog skeleton. The artist has probably only ever seen real wing bones on a plate and they weren't bat wings. Either that or they already make a bird skeleton and these wings are just modified from it's wings, like the chameleon tail and the rat tail.

My mom has a chameleon skeleton similar to the one on the left, but it has a proper tail instead of a posable tail, and I'm pretty sure it has five toes that are clumped into two groups that both point kinda forward, so slightly more accurate, but still not proper chameleon feet. Scared my dad though when he wandered into the living room with insomnia at 4am and thought there was some strange lizard standing on top of the DVD player before realizing it was a Halloween skeleton... Also, Clint - have you considered the possibility that your "mermaid" skeleton may have simply been a merman? The females could potentially differ from the males in the pelvic region even more dramatically than with humans, since they are a different species

The “second dorsal fin” on a piranha is actually an adipose (fleshy) fin with no spines, so you are right about it not being a hard/skeletal feature.

When I was younger, my parents would take the real animal bones and skulls I found and use them as halloween decorations. We still do to this day.

Oooo beyond the nerdy lingo I loved in the last holloween deco video, I learned that scorpions glow in a blacklight for some reason and that a crustacean's pincers are one 'finger' split in two, that's pretty cool. Also the ending was the funniest and most unexpected bit ever, most videos of doctors reacting to things aren't so humorous or make the effort for a clever TV show reference, definitely subbing to stay in touch for more content

i love these terrible, inaccurate skeletons. i honestly think the ears/cartilage/fins being included are because they're afraid the skeleton won't be identifiable as a specific animal without them.

@corawinterpaw9887 Год назад

Yes! THIS is the content I need in my life! (Target has duck skeletons this year and they are DELIGHTFUL.)

@JCtheMusicMan_ Год назад

Your enthusiasm and excitement for unique creatures paired with your knowledge of the smallest details is refreshing! 💜

@RoquetSynce Год назад

This is great! Thanks for the laughs too!

@j.l.thurman2725 Год назад

I liked someone's answer to this. As a necromancer, if you need a fly you can control, you create one from the bones available to you, hence the impossible skeletons.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Clint's tie collection.

My convict cichlids loved the (fake) human skulls that i put in their aquarium for shelters/caves, so to bring the look together, i did buy this exact fish skeleton on sale at walmart and cut it apart and my tank was a lovely convict tank boneyard that was layer dirted and heavily planted and filtered and mossed with local twisty driftwood and rock caverns and they loved it.

@AramatiPaz Год назад

I loved it, while educative he also is very understandable of the small mistakes and most important: looks like having lots of fun.

I never learnt that much about mermaids, thank you so much.

@eliharper6616 Год назад

I imagine the artist always brings a realistic skeleton in and the design team at the company go nuts. "We should do bone ears" "But ears don't have bones?" "Bone ears are TIGHT!" Where's my collab damn it

@lisaroper421 Год назад

I'd watch it!!

That last section is actually very good for fantasy world building! XD

I was not prepared for that last skeleton. Another wonderful Halloween video! (I'm still laughing at the cat's teeth.)

@ThatFreeWilliam Год назад

It was like a bad stuffed animal equivalent of one of those bad taxidermy memes, designed by the lady that melted the Jesus painting.

I was not expecting that last skeleton 😂😂😂

@angelpear219 Год назад

Love the Ursula question, I hadn't thought about that until it was pointed out

@michaeljannicelli1200 Год назад

I absolutely love your knowledge and passion

@xhopsalong Год назад

Ridiculously excited that The Cat made another appearance. Truly, it speaks to us all. Little unclear about what it's saying, but it sure does speak. This year's champion is probably the demon octopus - shoutout to those bone suckers.

@xpy99 Год назад

I love how you do this type of video in a so serious way

@CocoaVR7 Год назад

I LOVE YOUR CALM AND SOOTHING VOICE AS U TALK ABOUT THE SKELETON “MONSTROSITIES”

@Dnightshade100 Год назад

I like how you present your information, how you point out inaccuracies and give correct info. Your one of those types of know it alls who point out what’s wrong with something but do it in a POSITIVE way. When you talk, your kind, courteous and respectful. Your not negative in any way. You present yourself in a way that makes people want to listen to what you have to say. Your the total opposite of my uncle, who is all kinds of negative. He’s mean and has the attitude that he’s always right and everyone else is wrong. He treats everyone like they are stupid and makes you not want to listen to him. Even if he’s right, I never want to listen to what he says cause he treats me like I’m stupid and always tells me I’m wrong. Keep doing your thing. I like your attitude. Your an awsome guy and you know the right way to talk to people. 🙂👍👍

I was thinking of that exact Futurama bit right before you cut to it!

@zylinbia2575 Год назад

You know....I have that mermaid skeleton hanging up in my bathroom and actually this video made me feel BETTER about it's anatomy

@zylinbia2575 Год назад

Didn't consider the side-swimmer aspect. Very cool.

The clip from Futurama was pure gold. 🤣 Keep on being awesome.

Should we tell him that there are skeleton spiders with a human skull decorations out there?

@hunterivey Год назад

He already mentioned one in last year's video.

@rinashort3919 Год назад

i worked at spirit halloween when they came out with those skeleton octopi. It absolutely cracked me up when i first saw them

@IISheireenII Год назад

I feel like there are always two people working on those skeletons. One person who actually does the research and makes a more or less accurate skeleton with minor adjustments for manufacturing purposes and a second person who looks at them and says "change that or noone recognises what animal it is" or "change that, it doesn't look skelety enough"

@Tiburonsin700 Год назад

when I saw the octopus in spirit I was like "octopuses don"t have skeletons."

@J.A.huscher Год назад

I'm glad we're returning to the concept of the first video I've seen on this channel. Brings nostalgia

@MostlyHarmless68 Год назад

This would have been so much fun if my zoology teacher had done this when I was in school. But no, we just wrote lengthy papers of comparative anatomy of vertebrates. 😜
