LARGE BLACK AFRICAN CAPE BUFFALO TROPHY.

Professional taxidermy. Clean and very well preserved. A vintage item, this hunter's prize has been around for a long time. In very good condition and presentable anywhere.

The cape buffalo trophy is very large. When you see the size of this head/neck trophy in front of you, you realize what the "Black Cape" is all about. Its huge. The person in photo #2 is nearly 6' and is standing directly beside the center of the trophy (not a step behind as the enormous size difference makes it appear). Its muscular neck is bigger than his head, measuring 50-inch around the very thinest point, and 65-inch around the regular point. The area down farther, around the biggest point where it hangs against the wall at the base, measures 91-inches (over seven and a half feet) around! Measures 44-inch from base to snout, 33-inch across the horns, and 7-inch across the snout (nose and mouth). The horns' size isn't bad but in comparison to the massive body they are not as impressive.

The buffalo is solidly mounted on a wooden board and the hanging hole is all metal. As long as the wall spike or hook is strong and properly fastened to a beam there will be no problem.

Next to the hippo this guy is the most dangerous beast in Africa. He'll weigh up to 2000lbs. When coupled with crazed aggression and a natural revengeful character, just pray you never come across him. Once he's aggitated and draws a bead on you in the wild, you're done. They kill four to five people per week and are known as "Black Death" or 'The Widow-maker". To Europeans and Asians this may seem a tad surprising but the African buffalo is not an ancestor of domestic cattle and is only distantly related to other larger bovines. Definitely not the docile harmless cow of Europe. Its unpredictable temperament may have been part of the reason that the African buffalo can never be domesticated.

Shipping will be done by pick-up arranged from 2-weeks ahead of time. If its feasible I can deliver to you, but same time-frame involved. If it is possible to send by courier and you are willing to strike a deal for shipping payment, it will be arranged. I will not build a crate of this size. It would have to be packed by the shipper.

Prospective buyers are welcome to ask questions and can get more photos.
