I was fleshing out a bear skull last night for the beetles when I discovered a wicked injury on the lower jaw. That must have hurt like crazy!

That's osteomyelitis with some bone necrosis = sick bear.

If you want to see some more crazy damage from skulls I have cleaned, let me know and I will post them up. Used to have a skull thread in the Small Game forum but it went away, so I'll have to repost the pics here. |

Here's a bear skull from a hunter in Oregon - this bear had some kind of serious tumor in his jaw that destroyed a lot of bone and made other parts of the jaw grow out in a werid way. This is one of the nastiest injuries I have ever seen on a skull that I have cleaned.
Look at the left part of the jaw and you can see where the bone and teeth are all messed up. 
Here's a bobcat that had broken canine teeth. 
Here's a gray fox (bad picture) that had almost no teeth left to chew with! 
I have other pictures of crazy injuries on skulls that I have cleaned, I'll have to see what I can dig up when I have the time. And for anyone who is interested, here is the archived thread that I used to post a lot of skull pictures in. I got too busy to post pictures and then when I went to post some new pics the thread was gone! Bummer. Skull thread in archives. |

Here's the jawbone from the OP all cleaned up, fresh out of the degreaser but not whitened yet. The damage is pretty incredible.

Seems the hunter did the bear a favor if it was shot. That had to make life tough.

The amount of porosity in that injury is incredible. You'd think that bear would have just run in front of a semi at that point... or he was actively trying to break his tooth out.

I'm finishing up 2 other bear skulls right now, and they have messed up teeth, as well - though not as bad. In fact, most of the bear skulls I clean have broken teeth, missing teeth, busted jaws, etc. The life of a bear is a tough life, it seems. |

Here's a bear I just finished today - notice the missing front teeth. Bears must chew on rocks!

Here's the cleaned up bear skull from the OP - that tooth is barely hanging on!
And here's another black bear skull I recently finished that was aged at 18 years old (tooth extract) - lots of busted up teeth:
