Impala horns, from Zimbabwe, in a walnut wood base.
The Impala is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places near water.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the impala as a species of least concern.
Non CITES species.
A pair of female Cape Eland antelope, in brass bases, from Namibia. Its the biggest of all Elands, big bulls can reach 1000 kgs.
The common eland is sometimes farmed and hunted for its meat, and in some cases can be better used than cattle because it is more suited to African climates. This has led to some Southern African farmers switching from cattle to eland. Common elands are also pictured as supporters in the coat of arms of Grootfontein, Namibia.

The Mako Shark (Isurus sp.) exhibits remarkable variations in both shortfin and longfin species. The shortfin mako can grow up to 4 meters in length and weigh a staggering 570 kg. Adult specimens typically measure around 2.5 to 3.2 meters in length and weigh between 135 and 230 kg. This species displays sexual dimorphism, with females generally being larger than males.
The longfin mako shark closely resembles its shortfin counterpart, but possesses distinct characteristics such as larger pectoral fins, dark coloration around the mouth, and larger eyes. Shortfin makos are commonly found in offshore temperate and tropical seas across the globe, while the closely related longfin makos are typically observed in the Gulf Stream or warmer offshore waters like New Zealand and Maine.
These pelagic creatures inhabit depths ranging from the surface to 150 meters, often far from the shore but occasionally venturing closer to islands, inlets, or coastal areas. Notably, the Mako Shark is one of the few known endothermic shark species, capable of maintaining a body temperature higher than the surrounding water. It tends to avoid waters colder than 16°C.
While recorded human encounters with Mako Sharks are rare, it's important to note that large specimens can pose a potential threat. Exercise caution and respect when observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is expertly mounted on a base crafted from black lacquered wood. Embrace the captivating allure of this Mako Shark specimen, an extraordinary addition to any collection or decor project.
The "Flying Frog" Rhacophorus pardalis is one of the few species of frogs that can "fly" due to extensive webbing between its fingers and toes.
This characteristic allows it to glide from branch to branch, or across breaks in the forest canopy.
A beautiful species from Java, Indonesia.

Spectacular Aetobatus narinari jaws reveal the distinctive tongue of this remarkable species. Mature spotted eagle rays can reach lengths of up to 5 meters, with the largest individuals boasting a wingspan of up to 3 meters and weighing up to 230 kilograms. Spotted eagle rays primarily prey on bivalves, crabs, whelks, and other benthic invertebrates. They also consume mollusks, crustaceans—particularly malacostracans—echinoderms, polychaete worms, hermit crabs, shrimp, octopuses, and small fish.
The specialized chevron-shaped tooth structure of the spotted eagle ray aids in crushing the hard shells of mollusks. Their jaws feature calcified struts that support them and prevent damage when breaking through tough prey shells. These rays exhibit unique behavior, often observed digging with their snouts in ocean sand. This particular specimen hails from the waters of Madagascar and is presented in a double black lacquered wood mount, meticulously crafted by One of a Kind.
The Redtoothed Niger Triggerfish typically exhibits a deep purple hue with bluish-green undertones, but after preparation, it transforms to an almost black coloration. Like other fish in the family Balistidae, it boasts a lyre-shaped tail. The triggerfish's mouth appears to be grinning, showcasing tiny red teeth that are needle-sharp, including two upper jaw teeth visible even when its mouth is closed. While initially peaceful, these triggerfish can become more aggressive with age and may produce a grunting-type sound. This unique specimen is elegantly displayed in a matte gold lacquered wood vitrine designed by One of a Kind.
