Fair Game

Faux Animal Heads for Your Wall

Hunting is so two million years ago.

Back when that first prehistoric dude thought to chuck a spear at a wild boar, the concept was, admittedly, cutting edge. But times have changed. (Not even a gazelle can outrun a bullet.)

What hasn’t gone out of style? The whole animal-heads-as-decor thing. For those who oppose hunting but want to get the look, animalhead.com has the solution: faux taxidermy for the true nature lover — perfect wall adornments for your study or great hall. So much more than stuffed animals mounted to wall plaques, these babies are handcrafted, super-detailed sculptures of your favorite beasts — everything from aardvarks to zebras and some surprising critters in between.

Like, say you’d prefer something domestic to your typical Serengeti roamer. Check out the Farm Animals section, where you can acquire cow, rabbit, flamingo, or even mouse heads. More of a fantasy lover? Check out the dragons and unicorns. And for those who like to commune with the prehistoric, the dinosaur heads are a must.

Even Homo erectus couldn’t say he had one of those.
