Siberian Musk Deer Skull

Published:
3.8K Views

Description

Species: Moschus moschiferus
Length: 16cm
Width: 7,5cm (not including the fangs!)
Gender: male
Origin: Siberia, Russia / bred in captivity

Info: I can't really express how much I am thrilled to have this lovely specimen in my collection. It is not fully clean yet since it still needs a good bleach bath but... anyway :heart: My collectors heart is stumbling. They are incredibly hard to get and quite expensive. Siberian musk deers are listed as "vulnerable" since they are illegally hunted for their musk glands (and their natural habitat is getting destroyed). This one, however, was not. Please ALWAYS check your sources. Don't jump on a good deal without knowing where the specimen came from. You might support illegal hunting! I feel truly honored to have this specimen in my collection and I will definitely cherish it. This year was absolutely a crazy taxidermy year since I was able to get so many things off my wishlist. This was one of them - now I keep my eyes open for a neat muntjac, a water deer and a tufted deer! I will get another big wish of mine in the next few days, though I might be more crazy about it than you. I was finally able to get my hands on a female moose. Yesssss :la:
