A seven-year-old boy plays in the forest, stumbles upon a dog skull, and falls into a lifelong passion for all things bones.

That was decades ago, and the boy was Jay Villemarette. He’s now the founder of Skulls Unlimited and owns a collection of 7,000+ bone specimens, 700+ of which are on display at the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma City, OK.

Every year, tens of thousands of visitors seek the awe-inspiring sight of skeletons big and small, from humpback whales to hummingbirds.

Press play to learn:

1) How Jay had a replica of his own skull created (finally realizing the dream of “holding his own skull”!)
2) Which little insects make Jay’s job significantly easier … and how do they do it.
3)How Jay was able to amass such a large and impressive collection of osteological specimens over the years
4) What it takes to reposition small vs. large skeletons for display
