They have a massive warehouse full of high-density foam models of just about every animal on Earth, and they're moderately priced (though their full-size bull elephant model is the most expensive :) .. but I get zebra models and such from them for around $65 for a full shoulder mount (shoulders, neck, full head). These models can then be modified with clay as needed or used directly in casting, or sew your cloth to fit it, or whatever. I visited their factory and they gave me a full tour… nifty stuff, and they had a bundle of techniques and suggestions once I told them what I was doing.
The models pretty much all show some of the musculature which is nice, and you can see the details if you contact them and they'll send you a free, thick, full color catalogue. They have just about everything you'll want to use.
