This beautiful specimen was legally killed in Alaska, and professionally mounted by a licensed taxidermist in Lansing, Michigan. This is a fresh mount... not a "ratty" old animal that's been lying around in an attic somewhere. He stands atop a winter scene, as if in his own natural habitat (see last photo). This guy exudes confidence. Clearly, he's no one to mess with. Estimated to have weighed an impressive 50 pounds, this wolverine is now available for your office or den. You can leave him open for all to admire, or use the handsome custom-made wooden case with acrylic cover to protect him (see bottom photo). The case and table are included in this sale. Imagine the look on the faces of your customers, clients and friends when they walk into your office or den, and see this guy staring back at them! Most people have only seen a wolverine on TV or in some magazine. Now, you can have one in your own home! This is the ultimate possession for anyone who appreciates the awesome power of one of nature's most feared animals. He is truly a one-of-a-kind item. You will not find a professionally mounted wolverine this size, and with this exquisite detail and craftsmanship. Endangered Species? - Although the wolverine is no longer found anywhere in Michigan, it is NOT an Endangered Species in the USA. Rare? Yes. Illusive? Yes. Difficult to find unless you're in deep snow country wearing snow shoes? Yes. But endangered? No. It is legal to trap and kill wolverine... IF you can find one. It is legal to possess a mounted wolverine... IF you can find one! The total cost of the wolverine, custom-made display case, cover and table is $5,000. You and I will need to discuss shipment. I would prefer you to come to Lansing, MI, for pick up... I'm not sure I trust any shipper with this gorgeous prize. To discuss, please email me. wolverine - [wulv ri in] noun. a large musteline mammal, Gulo gulo, of northern forests of Eurasia and North America having dark very thick water-resistant fur.

Wolverines are extremely strong and aggressive for their size, and they have been reported to drive bears, cougars, and even packs of wolves from their kills. A truly a beautiful animal... quick, silent, deadly, and determined to win. The wolverine is one of the rarest of mammals, and perhaps one of the best representative of all that is considered wilderness.
