Hippo Table

[CTDolan]

Strictly speaking, not an item of taxidermy, but interesting...

 

[CAustin]

I think it's amazing!

 

[cpr0312]

Quite interesting

Very cool! Where did you find that?

My mother collects hippos of all kinds- she would love that!

 

[rinehart0050]

I found it. Looks like these will run you about 5000 £!

 

[EDELWEISS]

Oh THAT is cool. Now all you need is lamps made out of Ostrich legs.

MY wife hates them; but I tell her its my version of the Christmas Story leg lamp

 

[ScottG]

Very kool!

 

[edward]

isnt their some kind of hippo table mount with taxidermy?

 

[rinehart0050]

I bet you could level out a hippo skull and put a glass tabletop on it

I have seen it done by my taxidermist, but he has four legs supporting the glass top, unfortunately I don´t have any pics !

It is really cool, if I ever shoot a hippo, I will do it.

Here's a few photos I found online. Concur with @Nyati, definitely plan to get this done if I ever take a hippo.

Love the table with the hippo skull will have that done when I get my hippo not too sue the long haired commander would approve though!

 

[MD Scarbrough]

Ridiculousness? More like why the hell not!

 

[edward]

had this done by jonas bros.

That's stunning would love one of those but more likely to end up with just the skull with the glass top on it if I'm lucky

 

[johnnyblues]

My Plan is to have the skull mounted on a pedestal sitting in water and reeds..Then incorporate an 8x10 picture frame in the pedestal. Too much $$$$$ to do the real thing. for me.
