I don't think it means what I think it means

I never gave giraffe much thought because of ceiling height restrictions but seeing this mount I now realize you can pretty much loose most of the shoulder to have it fit...

That is why I had my neck on my giraffe turned the way it is. I will add a tree when I make the ped mount like it is eating. I think paul said it was just under 9ft tall that way with base. I like some of the shoulder to show the mass of the animal.

I thought the same thing and just told the taxidermy studio I wanted it about 6 feet and a pedestal so it would fit in a regular 8 foot ceiling room. Worked out well in my opinion.

I agree, I like it with some shoulder showing too.

This is my 180° articulating wall mount I intend to use on my African wall pedistal

A wall pedestal in my shop means part of the back would be finished like a pedestal mount, others would be considered extreme off shoulder mounts if the back is entirely against the wall.

@tedthorn , very interesting way of mounting.
