Taxidermized Alligator.
Taxidermied alligators are preserved specimens created through the process of taxidermy, where the animal's skin is carefully mounted over a form to replicate its lifelike appearance. These pieces often serve as dramatic displays in museums, educational institutions, or private collections, showcasing the power and prehistoric features of the American alligator. Popular particularly in the southern United States, especially in states like Florida and Louisiana, taxidermied alligators can vary greatly in size and pose—ranging from full-body mounts to head mounts, sometimes posed with open jaws to emphasize their fearsome nature. While some view them as striking works of natural history or hunting trophies, others see them as symbols of a complex relationship between humans and wildlife in wetland ecosystems.
Size: 29 1/2 x 13 x 11 1/2 in.
