The Javan subspecies \u003cem\u003ejavanicus\u003c\/em\u003e is distributed across Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands. The meropid skeleton is anatomically distinctive — featuring a long, decurved bill adapted for catching and de-stinging aerial prey, a compact and aerodynamically refined body, and elongated central tail feather attachment points clearly visible in this specimen. Presented as a complete dry skeleton, it offers exceptional anatomical detail and scientific interest — a precise and striking addition to any serious natural history collection or artistic display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for ornithologists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46594388820157,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/merops_philippinus_javanicus_Jv_skeleton.jpg?v=1786738220","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/en-ru\/products\/merops-philippinus-javanicus-skeleton","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
