Ivory Billed Woodpecker Skull

3D Model

Modeled from images of a real specimen. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis) was one of the largest woodpeckers in North America, native to the southeastern United States and parts of Cuba. It declined rapidly in the late 1800s and early 1900s due to extensive logging of old-growth forests and overhunting. Although occasional unconfirmed sightings have been reported, it is widely considered extinct, with the last widely accepted records dating to the mid-20th century. Base model created with AI tools, then sculpted/edited in Blender for scientific accuracy.
