which_chickProgress on beaver skeleton parts: Ick. Ick, ick, ick. Ick. With the warmer weather, the ick content is going up. Lower jaw now detached from skull, tongue and cheek muscles removed. Molars pretty interestingly rippled. Spine (2 vertebrae) removed from skull. Brains (more or less liquidy, a really, really* gross-smelling pink slime) removed from skull via methodology I'd prefer to forget. Toenails came off toe bones. Legs partially disassembled.
I rinsed everything quite well and took some more used-to-be meat off the bones and stuck it all back in the bucket for another week or two.
*Rotting brains smell awful. Not kidding, and possibly it could have used 3 instances of really instead of just two. You are probably underestimating the ickage, here.

3. I thought it would be interesting. (It has been. And icky.)
4. It was legally obtained via trapping during the appropriate beaver trapping season by a fully-licensed trapper, so, not illegal.
5. Eric (Amanda's Eric) wanted one. He likes bones but lives urbanly where decomposing a beaver in one's yard is frowned upon by the neighborhood association.
