Singleshot03Hartmann's vs Burchells
I was wondering in terms of shoulder mounts can one tell the difference between a Hartmans Zebra and a Burchells Zebra?
Thank you,
Jim

bwanamrmIf the Hartman's is done correctly it will have a small dewlap while the Burchell's will not...
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

The Artistry of WildlifeHartmanns have as Jerry stated larger ears, the face pattern is lighter sometimes even gold around the muzzle, Hartmanns have thinner white stripes , and those stripes are whiter with out any shadow in the white area and they have an adams apple.
The differences go on and on....

Singleshot03Bwanamrm, Jerry and Artistry of Wildlife, thank you for your replys. I heard they look the same in a shoulder mount but I guess it is in the details.
Thanks again,
Jim

nampomI know what you mean with so often seeing no difference between the Hartmann's and the Burchell's on a shoulder / wall mount, that's why I always encourage hunters to take pictures of the head and neck showing the dewlap.
Get a Taxidermist that has experience with African animals such as the guys that posted here.
