Im interested in mounting a panting raccoon on a limb, and my supplier catalogs seem to only include snarling tongues. So, are there any panting tongues, can i modify the existing one or substitute a modified tongue for another species? I have the head frozen so i can cast one if need be, but i haven't done any casting so i'm leery of getting distracted by the whole process.
On a more subtle note, will raccoons breathe from the diaphram or the belly when panting? Thanks to all in advance for any help that may be offered.
