Description A pine marten takes a vantage point to locate possible prey, showing their powerful arm and leg muscles.

~To whom it may concern, (please read before accusing me of anything!)
NONE of the animals I work on are killed for the purpose of taxidermy alone and most are found along side the road or come from bird/animal breeders in the area.

I am a permit holding and fully registered taxidermist

I ireland did you? they're very rare to see, and this specimen has been in my project freezer for quite some time now. So I can assure you, the one you saw is probably still out there

Amazing work! I can almost see his whiskers twitching.

great job, I love the pose! its so much more natural looking than just having him standing on the ground static. I'm guessing he's a European Pine Martin(Martes martes)?
