Zoologist Reacts To Your Horrible Halloween Decorations

What do zoologists think of your animal-themed Halloween decorations? They're terrible! What do they get wrong? And what do they get right? Clint takes a look at some horrifyingly inaccurate skeleton decorations to see what we can learn from these anatomically incorrect abominations.

My man, you laughing at the "best Halloween decoration of all time" makes me laugh so hard as well. Like my god! That person seems to have NEVER seen a cat XD. You are great and you have a new viewer out of me. You have a great laugh.

"We don't make snake skeletons because snakes don't have skeletons."

The tarantula:

[boglenight]

They’re actually designed that way as it scares people who know and like animals.

[kanz]

"they don't make snake skeletons, because snakes don't have skeletons"


*makes octopus skeleton*

[gennadyreshetnikov]

I laughed way too hard at the phrase: "This cat I found at the Halloween store where snakes don't have skelettens."

[crocoshark]

"It was unacceptable, we had to get rid of them."

"Daddy, why are you throwing my toys away?" "They are an abomination unto zoology!"

[UmbreonLuv]

So, what I'm hearing is that someone needs to make a business on selling atomically accurate skeletons as Halloween decorations

[LadyRavenEyes]

i love the answer a friend gave me for the spider skeletons.
"necromancers have a lot of little bones laying around, and some times get bored"

[sixrabbits]

"snakes don't have skeletons" is up there with my former coworker insisting crocodiles were mammals because, get this, of the way they walk.

[shepherdacacius]

That cat reminded me of the cats in medieval paintings, where it was always a question of “Have you ever seen a cat before?” and the artist’s like “Yea, totally”

[captaincapitalism]

I’m actually a big fan of these anatomically inaccurate skeleton decorations, because they all almost invariably look like Someone squash and stretched a human skeleton to fit the visual profile of an animal, like an anatomical diagram of someone who studied human skeletons extensively but has never even seen any other kind of skeleton. Something about that gives them a really interesting aesthetic.

I've been working at Spirit Halloween this season... and always cringe when I walk past the display of octopus skeletons. OCTOPUS skeletons.

[sampagano]

The bird skeleton is honestly the worst one because I feel like chicken skeletons are the skeleton your average person is most exposed to of literally any animal, most people probably have more practical experience with chicken bones than they have with their own skeletons.

[cloerainflower]

The worst I saw in our stores is an octopus skeleton. AN OCTOPUS SKELETON. WITH BONE SUCKERS.

Long story short, I named him Henry.

[alizardnamedyo-yo]

I'm honestly impressed that the snake skeleton even had ribs. Most snake skeleton decorations I see are basically just spines with a head.

[GippyHappy]

I love that he brought out the cat just to laugh at, like it’s not even a skeleton 😆

[firstletterofthealphabet]

Seeing clint absolutely die from laughter gives me so much joy. In the place where snakes don't have bones, cats are apparently mice.

[SohiHien]

I was hoping the horrifying octopus "skeleton" I saw today would be in this, or the butterfly. The octopus's head was a ribcage (internal screaming) and the butterfly had a ribcage, two boned feet and the wings were all boned. Truly horrifying.

[Merlijn]

It is a strange time when snakes don't have skeletons but spiders do 🤔🐍🕷

[Variella]

I'm no zoologist, but I have to say the skeleton decorations have always made me laugh. ESPECIALLY the ones that have the fleshy parts of the body, like dog ears, as part of the skull. The skeleton spider almost made me pee myself laughing.
