JohnDRe: Ideas for realistic leopard mounts
The nicest one I ever saw had the leopard on a limb attached to a beam across a room with a cathedral ceiling. A duiker was spralled out on the limb and being guarded by the cat.

jdsI didn't see this mount in person. The photo came from the taxidermist's catalogue and I think it is unbelievably awesome!
This is how I was going to mount my lifesize caracal until a large, unnamed kwik tannery in Jo'berg returned the tanned skin with all four legs cut off after I personally skinned and prepped it on the hunt!

Anyway, this would have to be a custom mount because I don't believe that there is a commercial form available for it. If I remember correctly, the taxidermist was Lifeworks in Colorado.
