Taras was very responsive including sending me photos of specific places on the skull I wanted to verify before I purchased. It came well-packaged, and was exactly what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. I have used other replica skulls, and while not as thick as others, it is durable and works well for the educational guiding company we own in Yellowstone. I have handled actual wolf skulls many times and this one is a very good replica. Thanks, Taras!
