Ti-liger lion tiger death cast jaws teeth cast taxidermy plastic replica

Description

Upper and lower jaws of a female ti-liger are cast in durable urethane resin. Ti-ligers are a second generation big cat hybrid produced by breeding a female liger (which is a hybrid of a lion and tiger; only male ligers are sterile) and a male tiger, resulting in a hybrid that is 3/4 tiger and 1/4 lion. The features of these animals are mostly tiger-like, including the appearance of the live animal. Jaw measurements: width =4 5/8" = 12cm (as measured across the rear molar teeth at the widest point), length = 4 3/4" = 12cm (as measured from the incisors to the last molar tooth). Only the upper jaw (palate) measurements are given. This set of jaws was molded from a un-cleaned ti-liger skull and all of the detail of the gums and palate have been captured. This is the closest thing I currently have to a tiger's jaws in a death cast, and it is similar in size to either a small male Bengal tiger or a larger female. This would be great for mask making, fursuits, puppets or any application where you need a ready to go part (the jaws will need some prep work if you are going to paint them, see below), or just for educational use or taxidermy reference. The cast could also be used for a taxidermy jawset once painted. Tongues are commercially available that would fit this jawset - I would suggest the medium sized Mohr brand lion tongue, which can be found for sale by many taxidermy supply companies. The site taxidermy.net has a large listing of suppliers all over the world. The mold was taken directly from a real skull, and is detailed down to the pores and texture of the bone. It also includes a portion of the jaw bone. Please note - the cast has been filled with yellow urethane foam for added stability; this can easily be trimmed and shaped as desired. It also readily accepts hot glue. These casts are also paintable - however you will need to lightly scuff the surface with a steel wool or scouring pad in order to get good paint adhesion. I got good results with scuffing, wiping with denatured alcohol and then priming with the spray can automotive-type primer available in stores. Then it can be painted with virtually any type of paint.
