Any of you mounted a zebra rug to a wall, if so how did you do that?

Black flat headed finishing nails into drywall. The black nails are unobtrusive in the black stripes.

Same but I use small ring sharked paneling nails. These can hold the weight even if not in a stud, although I try to hit a couple studs. They come in black, white and multiple browns, so you can match the stripes. When I have changed the location of the rug I use the same holes over again.

OOPS, I thought rugs belonged on the floor, mines under a coffee table in the living room.

DF When I was a kid, a family friend had one thrown on a sofa so that your back rested on it - scratchiest dang thing since I sat on an elephant while I was wearing shorts.

I have a couple on the floor. One has a felt backing and the other is backed with short-pile, tight weave-carpet. I prefer the felt. My wall zebra (taken in Tanzania) is a pedestal wall mount. Those zebras do not have shadow stripes. The contrast therefore, is striking. I do have bear rugs on the wall but, no zebras.
