Bad taxidermy is good

Stacey Ransom points us to this delightful collection of terrifically bad taxidermy!

• [tacokills]

  Top right – Crack Fox!

  • [Navin_Johnson]

    Ahhh!  That’s what I clicked through to say too!

    I dunna made a tummy shame :(

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Or Furry version of Tanning Mom.

• [lecti]

  I can’t stop laughing. Please help.

• [Marjoram]

  Sad weasel is sad

  • [GawainLavers]

    Brilliant!

    But…I don’t think weasels have webbed feet.

    • [Antinous / Moderator]

      Why I otter…….

• [GawainLavers]

  Baxidermy?

  I was all over it until I got to “a cheetah died for this?”

  • [Sheri L. Williamson]

     Yes. Bad taxidermy is bad.

  • [dioptase]

    It was taxidermized in its final moments: coughing up a hairball.

    • [GawainLavers]

      Maybe it died from barfing, sneezing and farting all at the same time.  I’m trying to imagine where you would find a cylinder of the right size to serve as the base frame; maybe we’re judging this too harshly, maybe its supposet to be a footstool or something.

  • [Jim Nelson]

    Taxiderpy.

  • [Tim Harrington]

    I suppose you’d have just left that bench in unupholstered.

• [John Aydelotte]

  Including the majestic møøse

• [theophrastvs]

  The main difference between this and “The Mystery (S)hack” is a bottle of eyeballs?

• [MrJM]

  “He looks so peaceful.”

• [Umpqua]

  The best name that I’ve read for this is “Taxiderpy”.

• [Stefan Jones]

  They should have left the genitals on that chair-sitting fox. Or faked a set.  Because with that expression and with his paws positioned like that, a be’wanged version would be totally perfect for sneaking onto a shelf or dresser of someone’s bedroom while they were sleeping.

  • [That_Anonymous_Coward]

    Needs a little speech bubble as well…
    “Its not gonna suck itself!”

• [Tony_Moore]

  if i didn’t fear my wife murdering me in my sleep for doing so, i would buy all of these. I love it so much.

• [Muse]

  Don’t forget the Gripsholm Lion!

  • [hymenopterid]

    “Stay outta my shed”

• [BarBarSeven]

  I really am crying tears of laughter & sadness. Seeing these… Things… Makes me feel more for the animal lives they had… I mean, of all the things to die for…

  • [Wreckrob8]

    …and be *immortalized* as!

    (I can’t help feeling for them, too – such a waste.)

• [MeaningOfLife]

  I want to point out that Something Awful took it a step further by putting these stuffed animals into hilarious Photoshopping here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/bad-taxidermy-nature.php and http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/taxidermy-nightmares.php

• [mobobo]

  Fox = Want!

• [Tony_Moore]

  i like to imagine that this is EXACTLY what they looked like when they were alive and moving, which was why they had to  be killed, mounted,  and kept forever.

• [SHaGGGz]

  This has inspired me to donate my corpse so they can make a Trollface outta me.
  FOR SCIENCE

• [Hakan Koseoglu]

  Is that Vince on the right corner? I know a Vulpus c***itcus when I spot one.

  They should bring Mongrels back on TV soon! 2 seasons wasn’t enough. 

• [ferd]

  ThinkI hear the coyote saying:  “Stimpy, you eeediot!”

• [Adam C]

  Also the Something Awful goons have nicknamed the fox, ‘Giggles’.

• [keithrc]

  Yep, not Chuck Testa.

• [Romeo Vitelli]

  Not one Norman Bates reference?   BB really is catering to another generation these days, isn’t it?

• [Scott Rose]

  Sweet Jesus, these are fantastic!!

• [Calimecita]

  This one’s from the Museo de La Plata, where I work. It’s supposed to be a vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus), just saying in case anyone wants to google it to see what it should look like :-P

• [Beth Cravens]

  Yes, “Taxiderpy” is the best name for these.  Frightening, but hilarious as hell. That fox…
