Behemoth

Eshu the black-backed jackal. Bought from a German collector. A very old and sand colored (sun bleached?) pelt, but the leather is surprisingly good. 122 cm from nose to the tip of the tail. He has beautiful dainty paws.

30 Days of Vulture Culture - Day 4: How do you display your collection?

Not very well, haha. The Wall of Skulls isn’t very pretty but it’s sturdy as hell which is the most important thing when you’ve got a ton of heavy skulls to display.

Kätkä the Finnish wolverine. This pelt was a family heirloom that had been passed down for three generations before reaching me. I was told this animal was hunted in 1950 or even prior to that, back in the day when wolverines were seen as pests and subject to bounty hunting. Nowadays killing them is strictly and rightfully banned in Finland.

I don’t know enough about sexual dimorphism in mustelids to determine whether it was a she or he. It has all it’s claws, the paws are wider than my hands and the pelt is very sturdy and weights a lot, yet the leather is supple considering it’s impressive age. It has a bit of a museum smell to it.
