About the Hyena
Hyenas belong to the family Hyaenidae and are among Africa’s most successful predators. Despite common misconceptions, hyenas are not related to dogs but form their own unique family of carnivores. There are four distinct species of hyenas, each with unique characteristics and geographic distributions.
Spotted Hyena Taxidermy Mounts
If you’re looking for African carnivore taxidermy, the Spotted Hyena is a must-have for your collection! The Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is the largest and most well-known hyena species. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, these powerful predators are known for their distinctive spotted coats, robust build, and incredible bite force – the strongest of any mammal relative to body size.
Spotted hyenas are highly social animals living in complex matriarchal societies. Males typically weigh 110-190 pounds, while females are larger, weighing 120-190 pounds. Their distinctive sloping back, powerful shoulders, and massive heads make them striking taxidermy subjects that showcase Africa’s apex predators.
Striped Hyena Taxidermy Mounts
The Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is found in North and East Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, and are smaller than their spotted cousins. They’re characterized by their distinctive black stripes on a gray-brown coat and prominent mane that extends from head to tail.
Striped hyenas typically weigh 57-90 pounds and have a more solitary nature compared to spotted hyenas. Their pointed ears, elongated snout, and distinctive coat pattern make them excellent taxidermy specimens for those seeking variety in their African predator collection.
Brown Hyena Taxidermy Mounts
The Brown Hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) is native to southern Africa and is known for its long, shaggy coat and distinctive white neck ruff. These hyenas are primarily scavengers and have a more solitary lifestyle. Weighing 75-160 pounds, brown hyenas have a distinctive appearance with their dark brown coat and lighter-colored legs.
Aardwolf Taxidermy Mounts
The Aardwolf (Proteles cristata) is the smallest member of the hyena family and quite different from its larger relatives. These specialized insectivores feed primarily on termites and have a more delicate build. Found in East and Southern Africa, aardwolves weigh only 15-30 pounds and have a striped coat similar to striped hyenas but with a more slender frame.
How much does it cost to mount a hyena?
Hyena taxidermy costs depend on several factors: the species and size of the animal, whether you’re having a life-size, shoulder mount, skull, or specialty mount done, and details such as custom habitat, pose, and mouth positioning.
