Don't worry, I did. And it was freshly dead, I think it died in the ocean and washed up before anything had a chance to munch on it.
And yup, sure does. Some kind of gull.

Possessing any parts of marine mammals is a federal offense, so don't go collecting any bones or skulls of seals or whales.
I thought the bird looked kind of albatrossy.
I'm fascinated by how bodies work and skeletons and how they articulate.

So anyone wearing a shark tooth necklace is a felon?

Re: Dead Seal! (Warning: grossness)
Sharks aren't mammals, they're fish. Shark teeth are therefore legal.

I read that as marine animals. My bad.
A shark skeleton or sea turtle skeleton would be cool to own and display!

So true! And the majority of birds are protected as well, even possessing feathers is illegal (MBTA).
UNLESS you have a permit!

Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Re: Dead Seal! (Warning: grossness)
Shark skeleton would be cool. Unfortunately it would probably have to come from a freshly dead or locally owned shark as they are cartilege and do not stay around long. The jaws are all bone though so they stay quite a bit.
"ma I'm goin' out"
"Where ya goin?"
"Shark fishin'"
"Ok, be home in time for dinner"

I've heard of some people keeping their pet tortoise shells as decorations after it passes on.
