Museum Quality Articulated Argentine Black & White Tegu Skeleton (Salvator merianae) – 1 Metre Display Specimen

This outstanding articulated Argentine Black & White Tegu (Salvator merianae) skeleton is an exceptional natural history display specimen, professionally prepared and mounted on a bespoke black presentation plinth.

Measuring approximately 1 metre in total length, this impressive specimen showcases the remarkable anatomy of one of South America's largest and most recognisable lizard species. Every element of the skeleton is beautifully displayed, from the highly detailed skull and distinctive dentition to the intricate vertebral column, rib cage, limbs, claws and elongated tail.

The Argentine Black & White Tegu is renowned for its intelligence, powerful build and unique dentition. Unlike many reptiles, tegus possess specialised crushing teeth towards the rear of the jaw, allowing them to consume a diverse diet including fruit, eggs and hard-shelled prey. This fascinating adaptation is clearly visible within the specimen and provides an excellent educational insight into reptilian evolution and anatomy.

Mounted in a dynamic natural pose, the specimen creates an eye-catching display that commands attention in any setting. The contrast between the pale skeletal structure and the black display plinth further enhances its visual impact, making it equally suited to private collections, museums, educational environments, film and television productions, curiosity displays and interior design projects.
