Ami Zarug:  Artist of Animal Replicas​

 

Welcome to Animal Replicas

where craftsmanship and passion bring wildlife to life.

​

Animal Replicas, founded by Chen Alfi and Ami Zarug, specializes in creating lifelike, handcrafted animal sculptures. Our goal is to provide highly realistic and meticulously detailed replicas that allow nature enthusiasts, collectors, and exhibit curators to appreciate rare and exotic animals without harming wildlife.

Since 2005, Ami Zarug has been dedicated to studying animal anatomy, fur texture, and coloration to craft sculptures with remarkable authenticity. Each piece begins with an anatomically accurate structure, followed by intricate detailing of the eyes to capture the essence of the animal. The final touches include carefully selected synthetic fur and expert airbrush painting to achieve a natural appearance.

Unlike traditional taxidermy, our replicas are made entirely from synthetic materials, ensuring no real animal components are used. Our process includes selecting high-quality synthetic furs, applying airbrushed layers to replicate natural color variations, and refining each sculpture with great attention to detail. Our collection features life-size mounts and wall trophies, including species such as the African white lion and the handcrafted tiger replica wall mount head trophy.

At Animal Replicas, we are committed to providing sustainable alternatives for museums, zoos, and private collectors who wish to display wildlife responsibly. Each of our creations serves as an educational tool and a tribute to the beauty of nature.

Explore Animal Replicas and bring the beauty of wildlife into your space with stunning, museum-quality sculptures that honor and celebrate nature.                                                                                                                                                                             Ami Zarug & Chen Alfi
