Re: Taxidermy Wins And Fails
http://static02.mediaite.com/themary...doofy-lion.jpg http://static02.mediaite.com/themary...-lion-side.png The story goes that in 1731 King Frederick I of Sweden received a lion as a gift from the Bey of Algiers, and was so enamored with the beast that when it died he tried to have the beast taxidermied. After all, what was a source of prestige in life could continue long after death when properly stuffed and mounted. The only trouble was that for whatever reason, the taxidermist was only given the pelt and the bones of the beast to work from. The story goes that the poor taxidermist, lacking the modern conveniences of Wikipedia and Google image search just didn’t have the find understanding of large feline bone structure to put together a convincing facsimile. What you see above is the result. |

Re: Taxidermy Wins And Fails
Definitely all fails to me but funny nevertheless... :'D I only like natural looking professional taxidermy - when they are done right they look absolutely beautiful and stunning! |
