Melanistic Blue Wildebeest Full Body Taxidermy Mount on Habitat Base - VERY RARE Melanistic Blue Wildebeest Full Body Taxidermy Mount on Habitat Base.? The consignor states this is a Melanistic Blue Wildebeest based on the horn shape and anatomy and NOT a Black Wildebeest. This is exactly how the animal looked the day it was hunted. The consignor states this mount was not dyed or airbrushed to generate this color.? This is the authentic color of the hide.? Melanistic Blue Wildebeests are VERY RARE genetic variants in the wild so public taxidermy displays are almost exclusively held in select natural history collections.?

The odds of a pure white Greater Kudu bull being born is about 1 in 1000000.? We could not even find the odds of a Melanistic Blue Wildebeest occurring in the wild.? Complete your own due diligence regarding this Melanistic Blue Wildebeest prior to bidding.? Mount is in very nice condition with natural wear on the hide from being in the wild.
