The African lion needs no introduction: he's big, he's bold, he's got a very fabulous mane and as it turns out also some very impressive bones! This incredible illustrative etching is by artist Edouard d'Alton, and depicts in stunning detail the skeletal anatomy of an African lion (Felis leo). It's one of d'Alton's many gorgeous pieces from the 1821 osteological masterpiece Die vergleichende Osteologie. Is that the best collection of scientific illustrations ever published? In our opinion, it's got to be right up there. Sometimes we dream about it at night, and can almost smell its pages.

This is the perfect piece for fans of big cats and African megafauna, vulture culturists, bone collectors, osteologists, animal anatomists, zoologists, any of the ologists really.

This heavyweight zip-up hoodie is made with a very fancy low-pill, high-density cotton-poly fleece, for outstanding warmth and comfort. The cuffs and waistband are a stretchy spandex-blend and it's possible that ancient incantations were spoken over them during manufacturing, but we truly can't say for sure. It has split-pouch pockets, which is handy for when you need to stuff two deadly snakes into your pockets but they don't get along, and a covered zipper for keeping out the chill, obviously. The hood is jersey-lined and offers great sun protection, not that any of you are vampires, haha, that would be super silly, but also if you have bat minions they could probably hang inside your hoodie like a little cave.
