Real Mottled Bichir skeleton, Polypterus Weeksii, real fish skeleton taxidermy

Bichirs (Polypteridae) belong to a family of archaic ray-finned fishes.

They likely diverged from Actinopteri at least 330 million years ago, and still their general appearance is very ancient and prehistoric. They look kind of like a cross between a snake and an eel. The body is covered in thick, bonelike, and rhombic (ganoid) scales. On the top of their backs they have a series of spiny dorsal fins. Bichirs are an interesting fish because they have a pair of lungs and need access to the surface to get oxygen. One of the main reasons for this is the waters where they come from are usually so swampy and dirty that it makes breathing a challenge. This design solves all that.
This specimen with full set of scale armor, all of those dangerously pointy dorsal fins, distinguished head structure and every unique feature of the Bichir is gonna be an outstanding addition to your fish skeleton collection.
