Wild Boar Vertebrae

Wild Boar Vertebrae

    This bone is from a wild boar—a robust, medium-sized suid (pig) with a stocky build, coarse bristles, and prominent tusks. Their vertebrae are notably strong, providing essential support for their powerful muscles used in rooting and foraging.


    Originally found across North Africa and Eurasia, wild boars faced near extinction in the early 20th century. However, their keen adaptability allowed them to rebound dramatically. Escapes from farms and zoos have led to their rapid repopulation, making them a highly invasive species in many areas.


    Today, wild boars are an ecological challenge to control due to their ability to outcompete native species and their prolific breeding. In North America, where this vertebra sample was found, boars present issues with native wildlife, crops, and disease transmission.


    Despite various control measures, their populations continue to grow, demonstrating their remarkable resilience and adaptability.


    All natural specimens are humanely-sourced. This animal lived and died naturally in the wild and its bones were found and identified by our foragers.

    You will receive one random boar vertebrae similar to the images shown. Please allow for variation on size and appearance as no two bones are alike.

      WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

      You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

      We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

      With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

      Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
