The Crocodile, with its formidable size, rugged scales, and fearsome jaws, is an ancient and powerful African predator. Recognized for their stealth in the water, Crocodiles make for a special experience on the hunt. They are highly intelligent reptiles and this makes the hunt even more challenging.

A full mount of the crocodile captures all the important details, its massive form and rugged texture. A great way to save space and really showcase the crocodiles size and characteristics, is to mount it in a vertical swimming position. The skull of the Croc is left in the skin when mounting, so if you’d like to present your skull – a replica is a fantastic option.
