Description yes? no? maybe?

~WARNING~
If you do not like/agree with taxidermy, I suggest you look away now. Rude and unnecessary comments will be hidden or marked as spam. Just as you have a right to look at it, you also have a right to NOT look at it. That's what the x or back button is for. Also a little fun fact for the fur haters: Hunters and trappers contribute billions of dollars every year to wildlife conservation.

This is just a quick test stuffing. Nothing has been mounted yet.
I'm still deciding whether or not to make my african civet pelt into a taxidermy plush, like what foxycreations, leopardpaws, etc. do, or just do a rigid mount (or have a taxidermist, who specializes in african small game, do it). Whatever I decide, I'm not going to do anything with this guy for awhile until I feel comfortable enough with my skills to tackle him. African Civet pelts are very hard to obtain if not near impossible, unless you're an african game hunter, and I'd hate myself forever if I screwed it up. I'll probably never be able to get another one in my lifetime x.x
I continue to thank for this beautiful boy <33 He is by far my most favorite pelt in my collection. I adore his sail of fur down his back.
African civets are smaller than I thought (mine is about the same size as a fox), and their fur is fairly coarse, but still nice to touch Not everyday you get to touch an animal from Africa (zoos aside)
Also please excuse my unmade bed lol <.<

You should definetly plush this beauty. Another thing you could do is put wires through it to make it poseable............

if you don't that's fine. I was just giving my opinionΒ

I really like taxidermy that makes the animal look alive but this one looks so dead :c

this one hasn't been mounted yet lol The body was only stuffed with stuffing in the picture to better show off the markings.
He will be mounted properly on a full body, rigid foam form when time allows.

I agree with you. You may wait and then decide what you want to do with it.
But anyways, that is a great pelt! I don't see pictures of them often, and their pelts are hard to get in the US DX
Awesome luck!

Yeah, I don't know of anyone who sells any african game other then your standard hoofed animals and big cats. You rarely see any of the small african animals being mounted

I don't know... a rigid would be cool to have him maybe sitting/laying on a dresser or table, but a plush would be amazing too. One of a kind for sure.. and more poseable. But like you said, I wouldn't tackle him either until my skills were really good, pretty hard to get those right?

Haha, I'd love one but they are way to rare for me to get haha. Heck, its hard for me to just find a nice fox with feet....

I think a rigid mount would look better, you could add some personality to it. Plus, plushies have that boneless freaky look...

Half of me wants to, as he would most likely be the only taxidermy plush african civet...but I'm having a hard time finding a rugshell with a closed mouth, and I don't want to buy a whole form just to cut off the head >.o

It would be neat to see what you would do with one of these guys lol I want to plush him so I can carry him around and let people touch him and learn more about the species, but I also want him to have near accurate anatomy..so I'm indecisive on plush or rigid. 80% of the people I've asked don't know what an african civet is lol they're like "is that a breed of dog or cat?" *facepalm*
