Beautiful rare black Squirrel taxidermy mount. This little fellow is enamored with the pretty little (artificial) butterfly on his hand and doesn't even notice the real lady bug, snail or honey bee nearby. He is mounted to a
wooden base covered with
real moss and is surrounded by natural preserved foliage and flowers. Display measures approx. 11" x 12"x 10"
species-
Sciurus carolinensis
Black morphs of the eastern gray and fox squirrels are the result of an abnormal pigment gene. Several theories have surfaced as to why the black morph occurs, with some suggesting that the black morph is a s
elective advantage
for squirrels inhabiting the northern ranges of the species, with the black-fur providing a thermal advantage over its non-melanistic counterpart.
