The Osteology of Decorative Plastic Halloween Skeletons, Part 7: Frogs


The frog is not an animal which one normally associates with Halloween.  Two different styles are available, however, the first for £3.95 from Mad About Horror.  (It’s also available in the United States, but Mad About Horror had the best picture.)



Whoever designed this skeleton actually did a good job with it.  It has no glaring mistakes, and it even does a nice job depicting a frog’s unusual pelvic structure.  I examined one in a store, and found that it had no lower jaw, but I see that as more of an omission than an outright error.



I cannot, though, give the same praise to this second style of frog skeleton, available for $6.99 from HalloweenCostumes.com.  It shows the frog with a rib cage, which frogs do not have (as one can tell from the first skeleton).
