All backboned animals (vertebrates), have internal skeletons. Most animals without backbones (invertebrates) have external skeletons, although some invertebrates have internal skeletons, too, although not made of bone. The skeleton of a mammal plays an important role in the support of the body. It allows movement, as ligaments and muscles are attached to specific bony structures. In addition, nerves and blood vessels pass through osseous openings and canals. Finally, organs are protected by the skeleton. These skeletal functions are exemplified by the skull, which protects the brain. Nerves and blood vessels run from and towards the brain through numerous openings. The skull provides a joint with the mandible, allowing to chew food by means of the masticatory muscles. The Baboon skeleton is similar to that of an adult human which has 206 bones.
The pricing of any trophy is subject to the costing stipulated per taxidermy order, quantity of trophies and preferred mounting options, along with additional requirements.
Should you wish to receive a quotation prior to the hunt, the taxidermist can generate such for you. Please contact [email protected]
Taxidermy is an art form that involves a complicated step-by-step process to make sure that each trophy looks just right and is of a high enough quality that it will last your whole life.
The time it takes a taxidermist to mount an animal might range from days to weeks, and possibly several months, depending on the quantity of trophies per taxidermy order, the display preferences, and volumes of client trophies to be produced, simultaneously, per production schedule.
This depends largely on the “what, how, when” factors. A taxidermy order also only becomes available for production scheduling upon receipt of the required deposit and trophy mounting instructions.
