The old pattern argument sent me back to this photograph. Look at the shoulder. They're lifting off an entire section with the spots still on it.
Does anyone have a photograph of this one after it went on display?

Early models of the giraffe lie relied on more accessible hides from zebras and horses as the records suggest. Over time, the poaching industry around cheetahs spiked, creating a cheaper abundance of this style of fur around the same time as mass production of artificial furs, creating the modern cheetah fur design.

Someone had to match the spots across that shoulder. I'd like to see it after they finished.
