Absolutely marvelous! Bet taxidermists don't get much practice on savanna buff! That is just fantastic work. Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves. Success is not the test."

Great work. Do they sell a form just for Savannah Buffalo or are the two so similar that you can use a Cape Buffalo form? | |||

No, I do not believe there is a savannah buffalo form commercially available. Probably not enough demand for one. Jonas Bros. has a dwarf buffalo form but they are much smaller. I used a smaller cape buff form and altered it. The body was actually pretty close in size but the cape buff head is bigger. I resized the head and resculpted some of the details of the face. My reference shows the savannah buff to have less loose skin/wrinkles/dewlap than the cape buffalo. I think the samller head makes the bodies of these buffalo look massive. Also the horn shape and ears are pretty cool on these guys. Thanks everyone for the comments. | |||
