Bone Collector | Ben Garrod | Meet My Planet | BBC Earth

Ben Garrod has more than a few skeletons in his closet. In fact his house is packed with hundreds of the things; he's The Bone Collector. While he trains for a PhD in primatology he also indulges in his passion for finding skeletons, preparing and mounting them. He takes us on a tour of his 'office', showing us some of the gruesome processes he has to go through to strip and clean the skeletons, and the painstaking work he must to do recreate their natural forms. His work is used everywhere from schools to museum, but for Ben it is a labour of love, and a truly unique artform.
