These impressive American fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) fur skins offer collectors a truly striking natural oddity at a competitive price. Each meticulously preserved specimen showcases the majestic size and beauty of North America's largest tree squirrel species. These substantial pelts measure approximately 70cm in length from nose to the tip of the tail and 8cm in width—dramatically larger than common red squirrels, though individual sizes may vary slightly due to natural differences.

 

The luxurious brownish-gray fur provides sophisticated visual appeal with warm rusty-orange undertones and a plush texture. When properly displayed, these pelts reveal beautiful color variations, with rich brown tones along the back and crown contrasting elegantly with the distinctive orange-cinnamon undersides. The substantial coat extends into the magnificent bushy tail, which remains fully intact in our specimens and comprises a significant portion of the impressive 70cm length.

 

Each pelt features the authentic face and characteristic tail of the fox squirrel, preserving the creature's distinctive profile and commanding presence. Most specimens come without the lower jaw as part of the standard preparation process, which maintains the natural appearance while ensuring a cleaner, more uniform presentation. This preparation style is traditional for small mammals and creates a pleasing display oddity that accentuates the animal's natural features.

The exceptional size of these Sciurus niger pelts makes them particularly desirable for collectors seeking more substantial specimens. Their impressive 70cm length provides a commanding presence in any display, significantly overshadowing smaller squirrel varieties. This larger scale creates a dramatic visual impact while maintaining the affordable price point that makes squirrel pelts so appealing to collectors.

 

These fox squirrel pelts are ideal for serious nature enthusiasts, educational collections, or statement display pieces. Their substantial size makes them perfect for showcasing as centerpieces in natural history displays or adding bold character to your collection space. The handsome coloration provides excellent contrast with other specimens.

 

Perfect for both dedicated and novice collectors, these oversized fox squirrel pelts represent an excellent value in the natural history collecting world. Their reasonable price point makes them an accessible oddity for those looking to add a larger, more impressive specimen without exceeding their budget.

 

Add this stunning example of nature's artistry to your collection today and appreciate the remarkable size and beauty of the American fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) in a thoughtfully preserved form that will last for years to come.
