Soft-mount Taxidermy Coyote: Ben

This is Ben, the soft-mount who is almost complete. 
His head is mounted traditionally with a foam form, high quality glass eyes, clay and plastic earliners. His paws and toes are formed with clay. 
What makes his a "soft" mount is that his body and legs are filled with soft polyester fiber fill rather than a foam form similar to the one forming his head. This way, Ben can be posed for cute photos, held easily, and gently cuddled with. 

He he is my little pride and joy as well as my "friend". He will never be for sale.
