Sketchbook: Flamingo Skull.
On a rainy Saturday afternoon in San Diego, Juliana and I had a fantastic time meandering around the San Diego Museum of Natural History. There was a floor designed for each of us. The entire third floor displayed over 200 skulls while the lower level held an exhibit dedicated to gems.

Is this really a flamingo skull? Excellent sketch. Pardon me but I haven't seen a flamingo's skull before. It looks very strange.

Thanks for your compliments on my sketch! It is indeed a flamingo skull -- I thought that it looked very strange and disconnected at first too. Our local natural history museum is having an exhibit of over 200 animal skulls. It was fascinating -- especially to see how some skulls look exactly like the animal (turtles, beaver) and others seem disassociated at first (a donkey skull for example... or the flamingo).
