Mounted Badger Shoulder Mount: Silent Forest Observer

The badger, one of the most iconic inhabitants of European forests and grasslands, bears the scientific name Meles meles. This nocturnal animal, characterized by its distinctive black and white facial markings, plays a crucial role in the folklore and stories of many cultures, often depicted as a wise and thoughtful creature.

The intriguing thing about the badger is how it is able to remain so undetected despite its relatively large size. With their sleek bodies, powerful claws and remarkable sense of smell, badgers are expert diggers. They create intricate tunnel systems, known as "burrows," that can be used for generations. A fun fact: some of these burrows can be centuries old and used by successive badger families, making them some of the longest-used "homes" in the animal kingdom!

This stuffed tie shoulder mount is a masterpiece of taxidermy art. Crafted by skilled artisans, every detail of the badger has been carefully reconstructed to provide a lifelike representation. From the fine hairs on its muzzle to the glint in its eyes, the shoulder mount brings a piece of the European forest directly to your living space.

It is a subtle, yet powerful tribute to one of Europe's most beloved and mysterious animals.
