African Lioness from shop

Hope these help, too.

Whew!  If you're just wanting to show everyone what a dead lioness looks like, then you've succeeded.  If you think that this dead, and bloated animal is usefull as a reference, then you are sorely mistaken. 

Look at those foot and toe pads ... they are dried and beginning to shrivel!  Like I said, the body is already exhibiting signs of postmortem bloat.  You can only use photos of live lions and lionesses as references to recreate a mount so it looks like the live cat.

There is no sense repeating this in your other post, so I'll just add here, the same thing goes for the pictures of the white tiger.  Use photos of LIVE animals for reference!

It would seem that in my ten year absence from taxidermy, not a lot has changed.  People ... you cannot, and must not depend on the dead for information about the living!

Take care, and be students of Nature,
John.
