Description
This Wolf Butt Mount is a rare and creative example of “behind art” taxidermy, crafted using the hindquarters of a Canis lupus (gray wolf). Often displayed for humorous, artistic, or shock value, rear mounts like this take a traditional form of preservation and flip it—literally and conceptually.
Wolves are powerful predators found across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their fur is thick, multi-toned, and instantly recognizable, especially from the tail downward. This unique mount preserves that iconic coloration and texture, mounted with anatomical accuracy and finished on a sturdy panel for display.
While rooted in natural history, these pieces also belong to a long-standing genre of novelty and oddities taxidermy, where the subject matter is intentionally surprising or comical. Perfect for curiosity cabinets, hunting lodge humor, or conversation-starting décor, this piece sits at the intersection of biology and irreverent art.
