A full-body taxidermy mount of a common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus), documented in the original collection inventory as originating from Tanzania. The specimen is presented in a walking stance with its head lowered, prominently displaying the elongated head, upward-curving tusks, facial protuberances, and coarse dorsal mane characteristic of the species. Warthogs inhabit open savannas, grasslands, and woodland throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa. Their flattened snouts and heavily developed forequarters are adapted for grazing and rooting, while enlarged canine teeth form the conspicuous tusks projecting from the sides of the mouth. The paired fleshy facial growths that give the species its common name help protect the face during combat between males. Despite their distinctive appearance, warthogs are remarkably agile and can run at considerable speed when threatened. The mount measures approximately 46" x 15" x 39" tall. PROVENANCE: From the lifetime international hunting collection of Fred Kelsey Koken (1938-2024), a Safari Club International member and recognized North American Grand Slam and World Slam sheep hunter. The specimen was formerly displayed at Koken’s Southeast Alaska Museum of Natural History in Juneau and was transferred to the American Bald Eagle Foundation in 2014 as part of the museum’s larger collection. Regarding Shipping Services: This item is exceptionally large and/or heavy, and in-house shipping is not available.

- Sunday, August 30, 2026 (End)
A full-body taxidermy mount of a juvenile Rocky Mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), historically documented from a vintage museum promotional brochure as originating from British Columbia, Canada. The specimen is positioned in a stationary standing stance with its head turned to one side. Two metal installation pegs protrude from the right side of the torso and relate to its former direct-to-wall museum installation rather than a conventional floor base. Mountain goats inhabit some of the steepest alpine environments of western North America. They possess powerful shoulders and relatively short, strong limbs adapted to climbing, while specialized cloven hooves combine hard outer rims with textured central pads that provide remarkable traction on rock and ice. Both males and females grow permanent black horns that curve gently backward, while the exceptionally dense white double coat provides insulation against severe mountain weather. The mount measures approximately 64" x 19" x 31" tall. Alaska Department of Fish & Game Permit #26-074-0, valid until 08/17/2027.

- Sunday, August 30, 2026 (End)
A full-body taxidermy mount of a Red Sheep ram, historically identified as a hybrid and documented from a vintage museum promotional brochure as originating from Alberta, Canada. The ram's body is positioned horizontally with its slender legs slightly extended outward, while its head is turned sharply back toward the shoulder line. Its massive, heavily ridged horns sweep backward and downward in deep curves alongside the face. A prominent dark brown ruff of coarse hair extends along the underside of the neck and chest. The historic museum brochure specifically identifies this specimen as “Sheep Red (Hybrid), Alberta, Canada.” Wild and hybrid mouflon-type sheep may exhibit considerable variation in body coloration and horn configuration, but mature rams generally share compact muscular bodies, strong mountain-adapted limbs, and substantial ridged horns. The reddish-brown and darker chest coloration seen in such sheep provides effective camouflage among rocky uplands and dry mountain vegetation. The left horn tip displays minor material loss as photographed. The mount measures approximately 56" x 15.5" x 28" tall. PROVENANCE: From the lifetime international hunting collection of Fred Kelsey Koken (1938-2024), a Safari Club International member and recognized North American Grand Slam and World Slam sheep hunter.

A full-body taxidermy mount of a gemsbok (Oryx gazella), documented in the original collection inventory as originating from South Africa. The animal is depicted standing on all four legs, displaying exceptionally long, nearly straight horns, a pale gray-tan body, and the bold black-and-white facial markings characteristic of the species. Gemsbok are highly specialized antelope of the deserts and semi-arid plains of southern Africa. Their physiological adaptations permit them to survive extreme temperatures and prolonged periods without drinking free water, obtaining much of their moisture from vegetation. Both sexes bear extremely long spear-like horns, while their powerful shoulders, thick necks, and striking facial markings give them one of the most recognizable profiles among African antelope. The mount measures approximately 72" x 35" x 90" tall. PROVENANCE: From the lifetime international hunting collection of Fred Kelsey Koken (1938-2024), a Safari Club International member and recognized North American Grand Slam and World Slam sheep hunter.

- Sunday, August 30, 2026 (End)
A large taxidermy diorama depicting an African leopard (Panthera pardus) and impala (Aepyceros melampus), both historically documented from a vintage Southeast Alaska Museum of Natural History promotional brochure as originating from Tanzania. The dramatic predator-prey composition positions the leopard above the impala on an elevated faux-stone display, recreating an encounter between two iconic species of the African landscape. The leopard displays a golden-yellow coat densely patterned with dark rosettes, while the impala exhibits a reddish-brown dorsal coat, pale underside, and the slender, athletic proportions characteristic of the species. Leopards are powerful and exceptionally adaptable large cats occurring across portions of Africa and Asia, occupying environments ranging from savanna and woodland to forest, mountain terrain, and semi-arid regions. Their rosetted coats provide highly effective disruptive camouflage, while their muscular limbs and tremendous strength allow them to climb readily and even carry substantial prey into trees. Impala inhabit savannas and open woodland of eastern and southern Africa and are renowned for speed, agility, and extraordinary jumping ability. Mature males carry long, heavily ridged, lyre-shaped horns. The display measures approximately 72" x 46" x 63". PROVENANCE: From the lifetime international hunting collection of Fred Kelsey Koken (1938-2024), a Safari Club International member and recognized North American Grand Slam and World Slam sheep hunter.

- Sunday, August 30, 2026 (End)
A monumental taxidermy diorama depicting an African lion (Panthera leo) attacking a Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer), both historically documented from a vintage museum promotional brochure as originating from Tanzania. The composition recreates a dramatic predator-prey encounter, with the lion positioned over the buffalo and one forepaw planted firmly onto the buffalo's shoulder and neck area. The lion's head is held high and alert with a closed mouth and commanding expression, while the buffalo is positioned beneath it with its enormous head and horn structure prominently incorporated into the scene. African lions primarily inhabit the savannas, open grasslands, scrublands, and grassy woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa, where they occupy the role of apex predator. They possess deep-chested bodies, exceptionally muscular limbs, broad heads, powerful jaws, and short tawny coats, while mature males are distinguished by the mane surrounding the head, neck, and shoulders. Cape buffalo are massive, barrel-chested African bovines adapted to grassland, savanna, floodplain, and woodland habitats. Mature bulls develop exceptionally heavy horns connected across the forehead by a dense central boss. Their size, strength, defensive behavior, and formidable horn structure make adult buffalo challenging prey even for lions, giving this historic museum display a particularly dramatic natural-history context. The mount measures approximately 108" x 85" x 69" tall. PROVENANCE: From the lifetime international hunting collection of Fred Kelsey Koken (1938-2024), a Safari Club International member and recognized North American Grand Slam and World Slam sheep hunter.
