Montroll's Bull

Montroll's Bull is a famous single-sheet bovine model created by American origami author John Montroll. He is highly respected in the origami community for his prolific output and clean, elegant animal designs.

Because it is folded from a single sheet of paper and features characteristic clarity in its lines, a medium-weight paper like kami or a slightly thicker duo paper is ideal. This ensures the bull's horns and legs hold their shape without tearing.

Diagrams for this specific model are published within John Montroll's various animal origami book series. You can find the step-by-step instructions by looking for his compilations of animal models.

The bull requires a moderate to high level of folding skill due to its anatomical details and use of a single square sheet. Origami enthusiasts appreciate Montroll's instructions for their characteristic clarity, which helps guide folders through the complex maneuvers.
