Product code: Burmeister's Porpoise in order Recycled Hardwood
order Burmeister's Porpoise is found in a wide range along the coast of southern South America. They are shy, undemonstrative, and tend to travel in small groups. The animal has not been widely studied.
My version of this stand-offish cetacean was carved from rescued hardwood, stained, painted, and protected with clear acrylic spray. He measures about 9-1/2" long and 7-1/2" high by 3-3/4" wide at the pectorals. He is mounted to a maple base and dated and initialed by myself.
Burmeister's is a very attractive porpoise with an unusual swept-back dorsal fin and dark coloring. Since they're usually too bashful to show themselves, this is your next best opportunity!
