Skins

We only offer Burchell
zebras. These are
not endangered and are quite common in the wild. There are
more than 240,000 animals living in the wild today. See below
for the difference between Burchell and Hartmann species.
Most of our zebra skins come from government-approved herd thinning
implemented to protect and encourage propagation of all species.
Some of the skins are from hunters on safari.
(See our gallery below for zebra skins
available today.)
Grading Notes
Zebras live in the wild and are attacked by predators (lions,
hyenas, cheetahs, and wild dogs) which leave scars. Some
scratch themselves and cause minor damage to the skin. Our
zebra skins are of all sizes and grades. Skins that are
completely blemish free are virtually unknown. Because of
this, we offer the skins in four different grades:
| Trophy Grade |
These are the best skins
possible. Good head, good body, tail. Assume the top 1% of what is available. |
| First Grade |
Minor imperfections which are only seen upon close
examination. All zebra skins have
rubs around the groin. Good for making ottomans and furniture. |
| Second Grade |
Larger imperfections. Some are obvious from several
feet away. |
| Third Grade |
Repaired imperfections caused from scratches and predators.
These are primarily used for craft purposes, e.g., making pillows,
gun cases, key fobs, etc. |
For an explanation of how measurements are
derived, please click here.
If you want the mane to stand up, you can use a
small amount of hair gel.
These skins are not felted. We have a
taxidermist who can felt them for US$500.00 extra.
Genus and species: Equus burchelli. Wild.
Not subject to CITES for the Burchell's zebra--the
only ones we offer in the United States.
An average skin weighs about seven pounds.
Add two or three pounds for the weight of the box for shipping.

A Note on the
Difference between Burchell vs. Hartmann Zebra
| The Burchell zebras (Equus burchelli) have
wide black or brown stripes that continue right around under the
belly. The Hartmann zebras (Equus hartmannae) on the other hand have
narrower stripes that end at the belly line.
We do not offer Hartmann zebras, which although they
have increased in numbers and can be exported to most countries, are still
prohibited from being imported into the USA. |
