There’s nothing quite like pictures of cute animals, and not much else tops stuffed animals. Intertwine the two and you get taxidermy, which takes both concepts and makes them better. Sometimes.
We’ve all seen photos of bad taxidermy or taxidermy gone wrong. Those unnaturally awful cases mostly stem from poor craftsmanship or extreme age. In a side realm of the craft, there exists creepy taxidermy that isn’t so much bad as it is eerie and weird.
