On the other hand, animal prints like zebra prints are considered quite a contemporary element to any home. If you like the natural look for your home then animal rugs, such as the zebra rug, are the way to go.

These days there are many types of animal skin and animal print rugs that you can find. When it comes to animal skin rugs, the real skin of the animals is used to make the rugs. These include polar bear rugs, black bear rugs, grizzly bear rugs, wolf skin rugs, cougar skin rugs and the more popular sheepskin rugs. These authentic skins are meticulously made by skilled craftsmen. Only a number of manufacturers are allowed to produce these, as you need proper approval from the government to use these animals for rugs.

Then there are the animal print rugs, which are rugs that are made from cowhide, bull hide, goat skin, and sheepskin and made to look like other animal skin like tigers, leopards, cheetah, zebras and giraffes. There are even animal print rugs made from other materials such as wool, cotton, acrylic, nylon and polypropylene. These floor rugs are printed and are a much more environmentally friendly alternative to real animal skin.
