Official synopsis Publisher
A humorous look at what happens when taxidermy goes terribly wrong, by the founder of the hit website crappytaxidermy.com.
A relaxed toad enjoying a smoke and a brew. A cat with eerily flexible front legs. A smiling lion with receding gums. Whether you choose to laugh or cringe at these spectacularly bad attempts at taxidermy, you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from the curiosities inside. This volume brings together the very best of the worst (along with a DIY “Stuff Your Own Mouse” lesson by an Insect Preparator from the American Museum of Natural History), showcasing the most perverse yet imaginative anatomical reconstructions of the animal kingdom you’ll ever see.
