Crap Taxidermy

This volume compiles the very best of the worst taxidermy failures from across the animal kingdom, presenting an array of perverse and bizarre anatomical reconstructions that readers will find impossible to look away from. The collection features highly unusual curiosities, including a relaxed toad enjoying a cigarette and a drink, a cat with unsettlingly flexible legs, and a smiling lion showcasing receding gums.

Whether these spectacular mistakes prompt laughter or cringing, the book celebrates the strange imagination behind them. Additionally, the guide includes an educational DIY lesson on how to stuff a mouse, authored by a professional insect preparator from the American Museum of Natural History.
