Description
The baculum, or os penis, is a small bone found in the reproductive anatomy of many mammal species, including the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). This preserved fox baculum offers a rare glimpse into anatomical adaptations and evolutionary biology, ideal for collectors of oddities, educators, or natural history enthusiasts.
In species where it occurs, the baculum plays a structural role during mating and varies significantly in shape and size across mammals. Foxes have a slender, slightly curved baculum averaging a few inches in length, and it is often sought after as a conversation piece, talisman, or biological curiosity.
