this was a fun chill project i did around the end of 2019. i studied both giraffe skeletons and the skeletons of various predatory and omnivorous animals (i think bear skulls were heavily referenced).

moving the orbits to allow binocular vision and modifying the jawbones for better attachment of larger muscles took care of most of the major changes to the skull. the modifications to the overall skeleton were a bit more fudged.
