African Wildlife Series: "Gazelle"

Other Models are available, at  Mardi Gras Coconuts

   This is one of our new coconuts for the Wildlife Series, which showcases various animals in the African Jungle, Mountains, and plains. All our coconut art is done in entirely real coconut, prepared and decorated by hand and made to last as a life time souvenir. The pics, (as good as they are) do not do them justice, believe me! You'll be very surprised at how they look once you've seen them in person.

  Each is carefully hand engraved by a master coconut artist of New Orleans, Louisiana. Your souvenir is numbered and sold with an Artist signed certificate of authenticity. Each  one in the Wildlife Series comes in a zebra themed tissue lined box, with care instructions. You can't help but notice the highly polished hand rubbed finish. Each is carefully engraved and sanded to bring out the true beauty of the mahogany like deep brown grain of the nut. This engraving is that of a Gazelle , one of the many animals in the African wild.

 While overall it has a reddish tan color, its underside, inner legs, and rump are white. Grant's gazelle is distinguished by white stripes running from each horn to the muzzle, and black stripes on the thighs. Long, strong, and slightly curved horns appear in both sexes, although those found on males are thicker and have more distinct ridges. Gazelles have long, thin legs and are graceful, agile runners. (Estes,75)

  Gazelles are strict herbivores and graze primarily in the African grasslands and savannas. Seasonal land migration is directly linked to the availability of food and water sources. Although Grant's gazelle usually follows the Serengetti migration patterns, where herds move onto the open plains during rainy seasons and into the woodlands during dry seasons, it sometimes moves in the opposite direction. This is possible because Grant's gazelles are highly adapted to extreme heat and low water needs.

 This series is one of the five that will have extra special pieces, for the Carnival collector's choice, if you collect coconuts souvenirs from the New Orleans Mardi Gras. You can display this collector's edition piece, with pride, knowing these are even hard for Zulu club members to get. In all of Carnival in New Orleans, Louisiana there are no other coconuts that look this professionally made. Some even think that they are ceramic molds, too which we say, "No, this is a real nut!." Getting these coconuts, are more preferable than getting those others that are moldy and were never meant to be kept for long periods as a keepsake. Get 'em now while the artist is offering them on the internet.
