Skeleton of Chameleon FURCIFER PARDALIS
PU1083-8
This delicate white skeleton, shown in a natural pose, makes the panther chameleon’s morphology legible: discreet cranial casque, fine limbs, and the long prehensile tail used to anchor onto branches.
He was born and lived in a vivarium of a zoo in Torino (Italy), once phe passed away, this specimen has been prepared as a skeleton.
Preparation relies on Dermestidae larvae, which remove soft tissues before mounting and whitening by the taxidermist; effective but risky—these insects must be strictly isolated to protect nearby collections in our workshop.
Mounted in a glass display case on stand, the specimen fits naturally into a contemporary cabinet of curiosities.
CITES-listed species with documented traceability.
