	1. Wildlife artist Rhonda Almaraz accurately sculpts the muscle structure onto the face of a lion to create an intimidating warning growl.
	2. The shoulders and front legs of a lion contain the bulk of the lions might. In a fighting stance the lion is braced with his leg muscles fully flexed ready to act.
	3. Even at rest some of the muscle structure in the shoulder area of a lion is highly defined. At the same time various areas of the body accumulate loose skin because of the body posture. This level of accuracy in a mount requires time and knowledge. At Pioneer Taxidermy we invest that time to insure that your mount is as realistic as possible.
	4. The final stage of a mount is the grooming. At Pioneer Taxidermy we groom each mount as many times as necessary to recapture the natural patterns of the fur.
	5. Every aspect of the facial structure must be carefully sculpted to create an even balance and to achieve the desired attitude. The eyes and ears must be properly positioned to create a lifelike appearance.
	6. If you ever want to know what the interior of a lion’s mouth looks like without looking into the real thing, look at ours. The coloration and detail is exact.
	7. The grainy texture of the nose is a detail most production taxidermists ignore. It is a piece of the puzzle. Without it the picture is incomplete.
