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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
