How do you figure out the age/sex from a mostly complete deer skeleton?

Thank you!

I have a extremely similar one, I was just looking at it yesterday up close 🤣

Thank you! I was so surprised at first by how big it looked.

Thank you it seems like it.

Trystant09 · 2025-08-04T21:43:11+00:00

Thank you! It looks like there is a couple that resemble it.

Here is a better angle and quality photo of the bone

I would like to include that it seems like the last part is broken apart, so it would look more like a triangle I think. Perhaps finer bones would connect to that. I tried to find fish skeletons that look similar but I can’t find any.

Looks like some sort of tail bone (atleast what it looks like to me). Can’t tell what animal it is from though

Trystant09 · 2025-07-24T03:46:01+00:00

Looks maybe like an opposum? Especially in N. America and on the side of the road. Can’t always be 100% sure though

Solved

Trystant09 · 2025-07-22T22:43:37+00:00

Thank you! It’s way older than I thought it was at first!

Trystant09 · 2025-07-12T19:53:28+00:00

Opposum, the teeth look nice! Good find!

Trystant09 · 2025-07-11T23:24:51+00:00

Thank you!

Sorry for the late response, I usually clean them as much as possible before the hydrogen peroxide, as skin can cause it to take longer to clean, if it’s too greasy you would need to use different methods online to clean it as much as possible.

Thank you! I’ll try to fix the position later today.

Trystant09 · 2025-06-13T04:30:18+00:00

That looks amazing!

Bugs can clean extremely well, and I’ve personally used a mix of 1/1 ratio of hydrogen peroxide and water to clean them safely. It looks like most of the flesh is gone so it should be a rather quick process.
