This site provides images of animal anatomy focusing on species commonly found in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The purpose of this project is to provide educational materials (photographs, descriptions, etc.) to search and rescue volunteers, law enforcement, park rangers, etc. to help searchers recognize human from non-human skeletal remains. Each page includes a non-human bone with its corresponding human bone for comparison.
