RED FOX FULL-BODY MOUNT
Vulpes vulpes
The most widely ranging terrestrial carnivore, the Red Fox is found in Alaska, Canada and the Northern United States, Europe, North Africa and most of Asia, including Japan, with an introduced population in Australia. It is the largest of all true Foxes, crafty, quite and cunning and tends to be crepuscular. They were hunted for sport and their beautiful fur back in the eighteenth century, the pelt of the silver-haired variant being considered to be worth more than 40 beaver pelts. This mount has a life-like pose with very good quality taxidermy and measures 28 inches long and 29 inches high, including a simulated rocky base.
