* The opening scene of ''[[Gun X Sword (Anime)|Gun X Sword]]'' has Van looking down at an animal skull in the desert and questioning why the creature isn't still alive for him to eat.

* Three ''[[Garfield (Comic Strip)|Garfield]]'' strips had [[Cloudcuckoolander|Jon]] [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1987/05/25/ bring home one of these]{{Dead link}}, which Garfield then [[Skeletons in Thethe Coat Closet|put]] [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1987/05/26/ on Odie]{{Dead link}}, while [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1987/05/27/ Jon was talking to his mother on the phone about it]{{Dead link}}.

* ''[[The Far Side (Comic Strip)|The Far Side]]'': One uncaptioned cartoon shows a pair of oxen pulling a covered wagon across the desert, turning their heads as they pass a bovine skull.

* On ''[[An American Tail (Animation)|An American Tail]]: Fievel Goes West'', Tiger runs into a buffalo skeleton that seems to come to life when he's not looking. Turns out it's being manipulated by native mice, who then capture Tiger.

* ''[[The Lion King (Disney)|The Lion King]]'': As Simba returns to the Pridelands, he finds it riddled with wildebeest skeletons to show how Scar's rule has ruined the land. At the end, as Simba returns to power, there's a brief shot of a skull being washed away by the rain, to symbolize the end of the old regime.

* In ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'', you can actually have a conversation with a cattle skeleton in the Dusty Dunes Desert. [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|It, of course, claims otherwise]].

* The original ''[[Starcraft (Video Game)|StarcraftStarCraft]]'' had all sorts of bones and skulls in the randomly-generated desert terrain tiles.

* The standard ''[[Clonk (Video Game)|Clonk]]'' desert scenarios contain, along with [[All Deserts Have Cacti|cacti]], animal skulls as decoration.

* ''[[Videogame/Eets|Eets]]'' uses this as decoration for desert-themed levels.

* In ''[[Pioneer Trail]]'' (formerly ''[[FrontierThe VillePioneer Trail]]''), these keep popping up on disused parts of your homestead.

* [[Bugs Bunny]] [[Skeletons in Thethe Coat Closet|wears one]] in the ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' short "[[The Wacky Wabbit]]".

** In another ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon, ''[[Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid]]'', Bugs falls into a hole next to some cow bones, and he briefly thinks the bones are his. Later, he tricks Killer the Buzzard into thinking the same.

* At the top of the ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'' episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLb2dcHNjKc "Feeling Flush,"] there's an [[Imagine Spot]] where the kids are walking through the desert. The very first shot we see is of a skull (pictured above).

* There's one of these (with overly ornate horns) atop the sign for the Gold City Guest Ranch in the "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Mine Your Own Business]]" episode of ''[[Scooby -Doo (Animationanimation)|Scooby Doo]]''.

* ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'' has these, except some of them seem to be skulls of ''aquatic'' animals.
