Expertise in Exotic Species Taxidermy
Exotic and big game taxidermy requires advanced knowledge of anatomy and habitat. Every animal is different — from the fine whiskers of a lion to the muscle structure of an antelope. Our studio combines years of hands-on experience with detailed anatomical study and reference materials to ensure accuracy and realism.
We work closely with clients to plan each mount according to the species, available space, and desired presentation. Whether you want a traditional shoulder mount, a full-body pedestal, or a natural scene recreating your hunt’s environment, we provide the craftsmanship and creativity to bring it to life.
Lion Taxidermy – Capturing Power and Presence
A lion mount is one of the most commanding displays in the world of taxidermy. It requires precision, patience, and an understanding of expression and muscle tone. At Savage Creations Taxidermy, we recreate that power and presence through careful sculpting, form modification, and meticulous finishing.
Our process begins with reference study — reviewing photographs and measurements to ensure proper anatomy. We shape each feature, from the mane and muzzle to the eyes and paws, so the mount feels alive and natural. The result is a true centerpiece that reflects both the spirit of the animal and the memory of the hunt.
Available options include:
- Full-body lion mounts with custom base and natural habitat scenes
- Shoulder mounts for smaller spaces
- Wall pedestal displays that combine realism with artistic presentation
Other Exotic and Big Game Species
In addition to lions, our studio provides expert taxidermy for a wide range of exotic and big game animals, including:
- Antelope and kudu
- Zebra and plains game
- Leopard and other big cats
- Cape buffalo
- Exotic deer species
- Wild boar and hogs
- Small exotic predators
Each piece is carefully tailored to highlight the animal’s unique anatomy and beauty. Our finishing process ensures the hide remains supple and color-true, even in varying indoor climates.
The Savage Creations Exotic Mounting Process
1
Consultation and Planning
We begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your species, desired pose, and display goals. If your animal was harvested abroad, we can advise on transport, import documentation, and preparation for delivery.
2
Hide Tanning and Preservation
All tanning is handled by a professional tanning service to ensure consistent results. Exotic hides are tanned with special attention to skin thickness, hair quality, and long-term preservation.
3
Anatomical Sculpting
We customize or modify commercial forms for exact body proportions and stance. For lions and large predators, we pay close attention to muscle definition, paw alignment, and facial structure.
4
Finishing and Detailing
Hand-painting, texturing, and habitat building bring each piece to life. The finishing process includes detailed eye coloration, nose and paw texturing, and precision grooming.
5
Presentation and Inspection
Before delivery, every exotic mount is carefully reviewed for accuracy, stability, and finish quality. Each piece is designed for display longevity and visual impact.
Custom Display and Habitat Design
To truly showcase the beauty of your exotic animal, we offer a variety of display options:
- Pedestal mounts with custom hardwood or stone bases
- Wall-mounted pedestal designs with dynamic poses
