Collecting skulls. Anyone know the rules?   Message List

Re: [mammals-aus] Collecting skulls. Anyone know the rules?

Hi Hugh

I suspect the legal answer to both questions (collecting skulls, bringing them back to 'Australia') is no!  You could check with the relevant authorities (DPIW or whatever the department name has since morphed to).  I also suspect that the Tas museums have fairly rich skeletal collections already, given the prodigious amount of road fur they have down there :-)

Be careful is probably the take home message ...

regards

Lawrie

Gday. My name is Hugh McGregor. This is my first post on the forum.
Im heading down to Tasmania in a few days for some mammal twitching. I hope to collect and prepare skulls of any roadkill i see down there. However, I'm not quite sure on the legality of doing this, or if I will be able to take them back on the plane. Anyone know what the rules for this are? Or should i donate them to a museum?

Cheers.
