A passion project waiting in the shadows.

Between client commissions and custom orders, there are passion projects we started that simply got put on hold... but never forgotten.

The Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) is one of them.

This extinct icon has captivated us for years. To build the most scientifically and anatomically accurate full body replica, we’ve been gathering details from every possible source, examining a rare 3D skull model, researching historical taxidermy up close at the Natural History Museum in Berlin, and studying references kindly shared by our amazing community.

If you have additional recommended information, archival photos, or research sources that could help us build the most accurate replica possible, please feel free to share them with us.

Nobody ordered this piece. We started it purely out of love for craftsmanship, history, and bringing lost species back to life, 100% animal-free.

Your feedback and passion might just be the spark we need to bring this project to life.

Now we want to ask you: Should we find the time to finally complete the Thylacine? Is there still interest in seeing this legendary creature reborn through art?

360° of anatomical precision.

A full-body sculpture requires total balance from every single angle. Even from behind,, every muscle line, spine curve, and skin fold defines the power and speed of the cheetah.

Evolution in process. 🐆

As part of our continuous search for perfection, our process is always evolving.

Here is a look at Ami Zarug sculpting a Jaguar in clay, using an anatomically accurate jaguar skull model as his base to guarantee exact proportions.

Once the sculpted form reaches Ami's exacting standards, a custom mold is created for casting the base structure.
From there, every piece becomes entirely unique. Ami hand-works each base separately to craft individual expressions, whether it’s a powerful roar, an open mouth, or a calm, fierce gaze.

100% animal-free craftsmanship.

Over the years, our African Lion head mounts have become our most sought-after pieces.

Each lion is a journey in craftsmanship,an evolving technique where no two pieces are ever the same. Every gaze tells a different story, every mane carries its own shape, and every detail is entirely one of a kind. Each piece is individually hand-signed and numbered by artist Ami Zarug.

At Animal Replicas, we strictly choose quality over quantity. Our wait times reflect a simple truth: your piece is crafted by a single artist who gives it his full devotion. As a painter and sculptor lifelong fascinated by wildlife, Ami believes that every animal is unique, and every piece deserves its own time.
