Here's a remarkable opportunity for serious collectors and taxidermists - an impressive American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) hide, legally imported by Fox Hollow Taxidermy. This magnificent specimen showcases the impressive size and natural beauty characteristic of North American black bears.
This substantial hide measures 1.53m (5 feet) in length, with a belly width of 70cm (2.3 feet), extending to 1.4m (4.6 feet) including the outstretched limbs. The fur is in pristine condition, and the hide comes complete with original claws - a highly desirable feature for collectors and taxidermists alike.
A note for experienced taxidermists: While the fur and overall appearance are excellent, this hide exhibits typical characteristics of bear skin degradation - a common challenge in bear taxidermy. There are no tears or structural damage, and these natural conditions can be readily addressed during the mounting process by an experienced taxidermist. This transparency about the hide's condition reflects our commitment to helping you make an informed decision.
When purchasing this specimen within Australia, buyers need only retain their receipt of sale from Fox Hollow Taxidermy as proof of legal ownership. While the original CITES and import documentation remains with Fox Hollow, copies can be provided upon request for interested buyers.
Perfect for experienced taxidermists who understand the nuances of working with bear hides, serious collectors, or institutions seeking a premium, legally-imported North American specimen. This hide represents an impressive example of its species, preserved and imported with the highest standards of legal compliance
