Description
As promised, larger and more detailed shots of Mojave. While I was expecting a coyote to arrive at my door, this guy shocked me when he came out of the box. Not really 'fluffy' as you would say, and definitely much MUCH larger.

This canine is no ordinary coyote as he's not a coyote at all. He is in fact a naturally occurring hybrid called a coywolf, a mix of a coyote and wolf. While usually enemies in the wild, some mix breeding can happen, resulting in a much beefier dog. Aside from the species mix, he is also on the more unique side with his red coat (the small up close shot of his fur showing true color)

He is one heavy skinned animal and demonstrates to me some very unique and unusual fur colorations. He is by no means in any way mountable and ill remain as such. I may search for some legs for him at a later time though.

The warm reds, tans, and browns reminded me strongly of the Mojave desert, the same barren grounds that I had been born on almost 22 years ago. Early spring is always my favorite as those rolling rich dunes erupt with wild flowers while the cacti blooms. I cannot explain how breathtaking that sight is in the morning or evening, when the sun crests the sand, making everything glow.

At the bottom you will see a lineup of 3 pelts. Marrok my female canadian gray, Mojave, and my western coyote Wile. All were taken legally. Marrok was shot by a rancher in Montana for attacking his horses, Mojave was a purchase upon eBay, Wile being a gift from a friend.

While this particular pelt will not be used for taxidermy, it will be used to further my studies of nature, anatomy, and fur coloration/length that I can then put forth into my costumes, working things from life to create a form of life with faux materials. As with all of my pelts, this one will be handled gently and respectively.

As with all of my pelts, I collect various color variations of different breeds not for the collectors value, but for the educational and artistic value. While pictures can be great aids, nothing has helped me greater with fur colors/patterning than a pelt seen in life, of which then I can translate later into a costume.

If you wish to leave hateful comments and demonstrations that you have not read any of m actual intentions or how this fox came to be/its future uses, it will only be ignored. Why? I have no time to give to such topics that only waste time. If you are inquisitive and wish to present your thoughts in a modest and mature manner, I always enjoy an insightful conversation. If you do not wish to conduct yourself in a respectable manner, we have no reason for conversation so please take your words elsewhere as they will fall upon deaf ears.
