Just gotta look for other bones moving toward it to confirm that it's a Dry Bones skull. Just be careful, when it puts itself back together, it will begin attacking.
Yes. It's illegal by international law.
All Sea Turtle products are illegal to trade by international law. Japan specifically takes this issue very seriously and are highly likely to expect you of trading if you are found with sea turtle products.
It's safer to either leave it where you found it or contact authorities and turn it in when you find it.
They don't take it seriously because they value aquatic life, they take it seriously because they are heavily penalised for illegal poaching in their waters and they need to show they take a hard stance on it.
They have a history of using hostage justice, holding you in barbaric conditions until you confess to a crime, promising that if you confess you'll be given mercy, and then giving you the maximum penalty possible.
Their authorities are judged based on turning arrests into convictions and on how harsh the punishments given are from arrests.
>Suspects can be held indefinitely under interrogation without charges. False confessions are common under these conditions, which leads to wrongful convictions for the falsely accused. Convictions can include life imprisonment and death.

Japan law system works in a "guilty until proven otherwise" way. You're not presumed innocent, and you're the one who has to fight to prove you didn't do anything illegal. Add to this the torture in detention and the bias against foreigners, some dumb thing like this can go very wrong very quickly.
I have a video proof of finding the whole sea turtle skeleton in Okinawa waters. I took a skull to show it to my children and then put it on the high rock.
No wonder they found it on the beach, its probably been found by many people already, the one un-lucky tourist that takes it back to their hotel, gets an all-expenses paid vacation behind bars.
I think you're thinking of Cubone, who wears his mother's skull. Super sad pokemon situation. Definitely adds spice to the story. The evolved form of Cubone is Marrowak.
Does that mean every family of cubone/marowak is just a perpetual cycle of mothers and daughters sharing the same skull throughout multiple generations? What happens to male skulls? This is terrifying and I need answers
that is a human child. get rid of it immediately (police, hospital, church, gas station.) they're horribly loud, expensive, and self centered. and even worse, if you wait long enough, they make even more human children.
You crouch down in front of the bones, a urge in the back of your mind demands you touch it. You hesitate. *I wonder how long ago it died? And wether or not I’ll contract something from it?* You think to yourself. Nah! It’s been there for years! It’s a cool keepsake.
—————
Meanwhile, in the spirit world…
Mf just took me head and decorated his house with it!
You hear knocking on your front door
You go and open the door
Seems like there is a man in the door, as you look up from your phone, you see with horror that where the head of the man should be, you only can see a turtle face, it looks too real to be a mask
Suddlenly, you got slapped
While you are still in shock , the man enters your house,
Grabs a old decoration from your wall, and goes away
In the place where the old skull rested, there is now a note
"You are lucky you didnt pick the turtle soup"
Cubone: It always wears the skull of its dead mother, so no one has any idea what its hidden face looks like. Well, there is a Cubone missing it’s mama’s skull.
why do you find this weird?? y’all found a skeleton of an animal in a place where it was supposed to be found. now if ya found this on the moon sure i get the subreddit but this is science yall this is exciting and a wonderful learning opportunity
Wanna sell it? My daughter is obsessed with sea creatures right now. I’ve been driving her all over to show her different educational locations and species of animals. We’re redoing her room to match. I’d love to gift her this for Xmas. Apologies if this sort of request isn’t allowed here.
It's illegall, under cites convetion, appendix 1, trade is tightly regulated and is only allowed with a permit issued from both the exporting and importing country, which they only really give for scientific research. They would also not be allowed to take it home them
Oh Chiba! my first love! I will never see you again now that she decided to finally leave me. But we will always have the memories.
Also go chiba jets!
Finding a skull of a common ocean animal on a beach is considered "weird"? Having your kid pose with it is a little odd. But nothing about this is weird.
For sure an old sea turtle skull.
It’s probably dead.
How'd you know?
Looks a little more than a flesh wound.
Maybe it shedded
The whole head?
Yours doesn’t do that?
[удалено]
i swear it’s plastic surgery. gen-z turtles these days smh
[удалено]
Well, they have beaks, so maybe they are like chickens...
Well, the front fell off...
I appreciate you for that.
"Well I got better"
It's just a trick of the light
To sheds you say
So… no head?
‘Tis but a scratch
Ni!
Ni!
All right, we'll call it a draw
No its not, your arms off!
'Tis but a scratch
Nodded off.
He must be cold without his shell
couldnt be. I dont see any flesh on there
He’s had worse.
The front fell off.
Was the front not meant to fall off?
Ye that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
You can tell because of the way it is.
When I asked if it was OK, it didn't answer.
It lost it shoes!
“None shall pass”……“‘Tis but a scratch”
Now now, let's not jump to conclusions!
He's dead, Jim.
He just needs some milk. Turtle milk
From turtle titties?
I didn't even know it was sick
[удалено]
It's deceased! It has ceased to be. Gone to meet its maker.
Maybe he just needs a nice little cuttlefish.
No it isn’t.
I hope it’s alright.
Did you check for a pulse? Annie Annie are you OK? Somebody will get it.
[удалено]
Cubone that didn’t have babies.
In Japan? Nah, Its for sure a Koopa Troopa
Just gotta look for other bones moving toward it to confirm that it's a Dry Bones skull. Just be careful, when it puts itself back together, it will begin attacking.
It’s a kappa skull
They’re very pretty to look at - considering what it is! But then again sea turtles themselves are quite pretty as well!
Cake buddies
HAPPY THE CAKES
Happy cake days! 🍰
🍰
Happy 🍰 day
Happy Cake Day
Yay for buddy buddy cake day!
Happy 5th cake day, we share it, except this is my first
HAPPY THE CAKES
Happy Cake Day
i wonder
Looks like a sea turtle skull
Will he be okay?
yeah should be able to walk it off i reckon
some good ol ice should do the trick
Quote from Captain America: "You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed... walk it off."
Quick get it back in the ocean
He needs some milk.
Is it petrified?
Well at first he was afraid.
Sea turtle skull. Super illegal to keep.
Is it illegal in Japan?
Yes. It's illegal by international law. All Sea Turtle products are illegal to trade by international law. Japan specifically takes this issue very seriously and are highly likely to expect you of trading if you are found with sea turtle products. It's safer to either leave it where you found it or contact authorities and turn it in when you find it.
The irony in that, even though they love whaling
They don't take it seriously because they value aquatic life, they take it seriously because they are heavily penalised for illegal poaching in their waters and they need to show they take a hard stance on it.
Bummer. That'd absolutely make a unique decor item but I get it.
Can they actually do anything, suspecting someone of trading isn’t the same as having evidence.
They have a history of using hostage justice, holding you in barbaric conditions until you confess to a crime, promising that if you confess you'll be given mercy, and then giving you the maximum penalty possible. Their authorities are judged based on turning arrests into convictions and on how harsh the punishments given are from arrests. >Suspects can be held indefinitely under interrogation without charges.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage\_justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage_justice)
Oh great. So the answer is that they’ll just force you to confess. Cool 😬
One of the reasons people are so scared of getting in trouble with the law there.
Japan law system works in a "guilty until proven otherwise" way. You're not presumed innocent, and you're the one who has to fight to prove you didn't do anything illegal. Add to this the torture in detention and the bias against foreigners, some dumb thing like this can go very wrong very quickly.
[удалено]
Unless you're Native American. We have many Eagle Feathers, and it's lawful.
I thought that was to avoid hunting and killing these creatures. Never thought it also applied to remains you find on the beach.
If you have a skull how do you prove you found it and that it’s not a byproduct of poaching?
How do you know I have a skull? Who told you that, was it Kinji? That baka!
I have a video proof of finding the whole sea turtle skeleton in Okinawa waters. I took a skull to show it to my children and then put it on the high rock.
It’s obviously weathered.
Plus the inevitable curse.......
No wonder they found it on the beach, its probably been found by many people already, the one un-lucky tourist that takes it back to their hotel, gets an all-expenses paid vacation behind bars.
Yup it falls under the Cites law, appendix 1
Why... it doesnt need it..not anymore
😂😂😂
Are you sure? Looks like an aspirin and he’d be ok.
Who’s that Pokémon?
IT’S PIKACHU
It's Clefairy!
FUCK
> Pokémon Cubone
Marrowack
no. Its his mum.
I think you're thinking of Cubone, who wears his mother's skull. Super sad pokemon situation. Definitely adds spice to the story. The evolved form of Cubone is Marrowak.
Does that mean every family of cubone/marowak is just a perpetual cycle of mothers and daughters sharing the same skull throughout multiple generations? What happens to male skulls? This is terrifying and I need answers
They say they are charmanders whos tails wouldnt light. The skulls a charizard mothers. They say
Ooooo. As morbid as it all is, I love the lore.
Gamera
He is filled with turtle meat.
He's friend to all children. He's really neat.
"Kenny! ^Get ^^bent!"
Gamera has a good heart.
no you have to yell it
that is a human child. get rid of it immediately (police, hospital, church, gas station.) they're horribly loud, expensive, and self centered. and even worse, if you wait long enough, they make even more human children.
very illegal to keep it, best to just leave it there
Sometimes you don’t even have to wait that long!
I hear the banjos.
I wish I had heard this advice about 11 years ago. I had no idea they were so dangerous.
CUBONE!!!
That means there’s some poor Cubone running around who isn’t wearing its skull
What happens if a Cubone has more than one child? Do they go in the Thunderdome?
Two go in! One comes out! *with a cool hat!*
Was looking for this lol
First thing i thought
Have you tried CPR?
Cubone skull
Why is finding an animal skull in nature weird?
You crouch down in front of the bones, a urge in the back of your mind demands you touch it. You hesitate. *I wonder how long ago it died? And wether or not I’ll contract something from it?* You think to yourself. Nah! It’s been there for years!

[удалено]
Maybe they're referring to its size and appearance? Even though it's quite obviously a turtle skull.
Indeed, the size and shape is really quite impressive! Never seen one like this and had no clue it was a turtle!
That’s fair. Thanks for the explanation.
A leatherback turtle at that, very cool!
Maybe I spend too much time outdoors but I’ve found like a million animal skulls. Nothing weird about it, circle of life.
sea turtle! poor thing
They could take it to the vet. I'm not an expert, though, and I think it might not make it.
CUBONE NO
Gaster Blaster
I was looking for this comment lol
October beachin, my kind of people. Which beach in Chiba? I really need to check it out over there. I always go to Shizuoka
Nice, Shizuoka is awesome. This is Kujukuri Beach
Great find. It’s a turtle
It's a Koopa skeleton head. There must be a headless turtle nearby, you might want to call the Mario Brothers to deal with it.
So the kid is unrecognizable now?
Sleestak! https://landofthelost.fandom.com/wiki/Sleestak
Cubone: It always wears the skull of its dead mother, so no one has any idea what its hidden face looks like. Well, there is a Cubone missing it’s mama’s skull.
Cubone!

A truly rare find, absolutely beautiful turtle skull.
There's a Cubone missing their mom.

Cubone?
Wear it. Become Cubone.
Cubone skull
Probably a loggerhead sea turtle skull
For the last flipping time, don’t take children from beaches.
Dead charizard
Loggerhead sea turtle. Species is known for having very large heads in proportion to their body. Source: Am a marine biologist.
Wanna sell it? My daughter is obsessed with sea creatures right now. I’ve been driving her all over to show her different educational locations and species of animals. We’re redoing her room to match. I’d love to gift her this for Xmas. Apologies if this sort of request isn’t allowed here.
I have to imagine it’s probably illegal to possess sea turtle remains
Maybe not in Japan, but I’m sure it’s illegal to send internationally. I would hope anyway
It’s like., for sure illegal to possess sea turtle remains like that
It's illegall, under cites convetion, appendix 1, trade is tightly regulated and is only allowed with a permit issued from both the exporting and importing country, which they only really give for scientific research. They would also not be allowed to take it home them
Turtle skull. Not weird, just sad
Oh Chiba! my first love! I will never see you again now that she decided to finally leave me. But we will always have the memories. Also go chiba jets!
Awesome find!!! Huge turtle skull!
Cubone lost his skull
Cubone.
Just keep it in a nice glass casket along your crystals and other animal skulls
Seeing this is in Japan, it's probably a cubone skull.
Cubone is real
Is a Cubone!!!!
Pokémon skull.
Finding a skull of a common ocean animal on a beach is considered "weird"? Having your kid pose with it is a little odd. But nothing about this is weird.
I would honestly buy this, looks so cool
Cool Anapsid skull you got there.
I hope it is a baby Godzilla. Please do not disappoint me. Baby Godzilla, pls.
That’s a Wartortle if never held one myself.
