African Taxidermy Pictures

Great post, Jerome ~ I have to agree with Frederik that my favorite is the lion chasing the vulture off the zebra kill - it's very realistic. Thanks for sharing the photos as I didn't have a chance to see much of the show.

I really enjoy the lions full mounts... many of them show very realistic face expressions....

The SCI Annual Meeting have maybe the best taxidermist all over the world. It is a pity to hunt a beautifull and sometimes expensive animal, and later the shoulder mount is ruined by the bad done work of a wrongly named " profesional taxidermist".

Here are African taxidermy pictures from the SCI convention 2013, enjoy and please share your mounts in this thread!

Awesome post Jerome, saw some of these mounts as well, must admit I am fond of most if the Leopard mounts.... For obvious reason!!!
:)

My best always.

There are some stunning work, thanks Jerome

That Leopard coming off the wall sure would do something for the entrance way to the house.

I do like the pride of Lions.


Cats have to be the toughest.
Too many look bug eyed..

Some great looking art in there. I agree that cats are the hardest to perfect, they always look cross-eyed to me. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Jerome..

saw some of the Animal artistry ones last fall being worked on.

+1.
Seeing the first pic of a Lord Derby Eland mount reminds me that I want to hunt one so badly that it hurts.
The same goes for buff when I see the last pic of a buff mount.

what an inspiring selection of taxidermy art work at its best .
i would of out wore my welcome at that part of an expo .
love that croc comming out of the water and taking the bush buck just as much as the the lion going after the vulture .
im going to have make time to go to one of these big ass expo s you guys have

Wow, is this a cool mount.

Very cool Cheetah!

WOW Great Mounts!

I have come back to look at this Cheetah mount ten times. I am so used to seeing pedestals and dioramas.... this is so novel.
