m-c, is it possible that you are in charge of animal identification for French Customs?! :) I have spent hours with taxidermy appraisers here, and with Wiki and Google on the Interweb, and I believe that Luc is un belier, a male sheep... not un bouc, a male goat. Regardless, Luc looks fabulous, as does Roy, and we're so happy they made it to la Berge. Now, do you want your full-body bear mount standing upright, or on all fours?
OK, we'll look for something that rhymes with belier, but we like the sound of Luc the bouc. I'm sure the combination of "surprise taxidermy" and french bureaucracy were an absolute nightmare. What an extravagant present! We love them. Can't wait for you to come and visit them here.
French Customs insisted that we list Luc as a Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep on our declarations papers, so "Rocky" might work. The baffling truth however, is that Luc is actually a Rambouillet ram, whose origin as a breed began in 1786, under Louis XVI, 50 km southwest of Paris..... "Rambo", maybe?
