It's the Monkey Boy Jesus Fresco of taxidermy.

Good one.

Sad/rage-y?

The next Andrew W.K. album cover.

I voted "creepy," but it is creepy in a good way.

You left off the Gripsholm Lion:

I don't think the problem with the taxidermist who made the left one isn't that he'd never seen an ocelot. It's that he's a shitty taxidermist.

I don't think he's ever seen an animal.

Best caption for that cat that I've seen:

Meth. Not even once.

Awesome

Back in the 50's there was a big push to promote taxidermy as a hobby. I read many old magazines and am always seeing advertisments for taxidermy schools as well as learn taxidermy at home courses. I suspect that most of the shitty looking taxidermy pieces we see today are a direct result of those courses. Another thing that should be taken into consideration is that the animal skins dry out and warp over time, some of those pieces may have looked OK when they were freshly made, only to turn really horrific with the passage of decades.

I wonder if that one on the left was someone's first attempt (at something bigger than a crow they found in the woods). If I were to stuff an ocelot, I think it would look a lot like poor old Janky.
