African Zebra 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.

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.

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.
