This remarkably preserved skeleton of a male Orangutan originated from Borneo, a region where British Colonial Administrator, Zoologist, and Ethnologist Charles Hose spent considerable time during the early twentieth century. Hose, who resided on the island for an extended period, carefully collected this specimen as part of his extensive research endeavors. The meticulous taxidermy mount was created by Gerrard's skilled taxidermy company in London, showcasing their expertise in preserving wildlife specimens. This remarkable object has been meticulously scanned by Horniman Museum to ensure its enduring presence for future generations to study and appreciate.
