Alternia's greatest hunter

hello there mate welcome to my blog! the name's eridan megido but you can call me scope! i'm a rust blood but i'll be damned if i'm gonna let that stop me from bein the best damn hunter alternia has ever seen! they'll have to build whole new damn library to house all the books they'll write about the new critters i'll kill! ... that was a bit dramatic, sorry. honestly, i'm a pretty chill guy.

If you guessed Nyala, you were right! Here he is mounted and blow dried after a good bath. Now he just needs to dry a bit and get some finish work.

Sometimes, collections give you a gift. A beautiful, terrible, incredibly bizarre gift.

The Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a majestic creature. They’re known for their gorgeous and functional fur patterning, including facial ruffs and dark ear tufts, their huge, powerful paws, and their fierce hunting of Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus), their favorite prey.

This particular specimen may not be remembered for any of those things.

First of all, it may not be a lynx at all. It’s labelled as one, but it looks suspiciously Bobcat-y. One of the things that I love the most about…less than perfect taxidermy is that it points out the differences between humans’ perceptions of animals, and the reality of these creatures. Cats normally hold their claws sheathed, unless they’re attacking something, but we see them on display here. The face has also been shaped to look more like a Bobcat (Lynx rufus), possibly because the artist was more familiar with that species or because of available materials, or perhaps it IS one. There’s also a slight hint of, yes, a rather human smile.
