These Black Bears come from Canada. The hides are heavy and thick which makes a wonderful rug. Usually in a black or brownish red in color. The hides are tanned then professionally mounted by a Canadian Taxidermist who then places the Bear on a quilt and felt backing to make a rug. Hooks are on the back for easy hanging on wall. But, you may also place the Bear on the floor, over a bannister or even on a bed to decoration.
