wolf pelt

Predator's skinned coat

A wolf pelt is the skin of a wolf with the fur still attached, removed from the animal for use as a trophy, garment, or trade good.

Wolf pelts have historically been valuable in the fur trade and remain symbols of wilderness hunting: A wolf pelt hung on the cabin wall.

The term applies whether the hide is raw or tanned.
