Extraordinary Crocodylus Porosus skull : the sea Crocodile or double spike Crocodile is a species from the Crocodylidae family.
This beautiful reproduction, found in the back of an old zoology workshop in Balikpapan during a journey to Borneo, has been purchased following multiple negotiations and glasses of Arak, the famous Indonesian alcohol.

Master of the mysteries of life and death, guardian of all knowledge, lord of primordial waters and of the night for many Cultures, it is told that he is the one who devours the sun every evening…

This moulding in synthetic material is presented on its metal base with its jaw wide open, the size of its teeth (up to 10 cm) leaving us imagine the deathly fate of its preys…
But let’s settle here for a softer version : to contemplate it will certainly help you devour life better !
