“Bad Taxidermy”: 35 Examples Of Taxidermy That’s So Horrific It’s Funny
Taxidermy is a skill that requires knowledge of anatomy, preservation techniques, and the ability to sculpt and paint. And nobody's born good at it. People must learn the craft the hard way—through trial and error. In fact, there's so much of the latter that it's enough to power a Facebook group with hundreds of thousands of members.
Called 'Bad Taxidermy,' it features everything from stuffed squirrels with human-like hands to deer with wonky eyes and crooked antlers. There's never a dull moment here. It offers a light-hearted and fun way to learn more about taxidermy, and the community is friendly and welcoming.

Not sure if it was filtered/shopped... but... the melding looks really good/smooth from here - these are quite good. I'm going to guess that there are taxidermists who do 'mythical taxidermy' - ie: making a gryphon or jackelope...any other mish-mash animal-myth?

I see a puffer fish sporting a bird's tail and a squid beak (if that's what you call a squid's mouth - I suppose Squidy Squid's in bed, right when I need her expert opinion the most).

A lot of these just are ... hideous. The thought alone ... "I'll kill this perfectly vital animal, employ my next-to-nothing of craftery talent and whatever leftover stuff I find around the house to aimlessly make some ugly deco piece out of them - what a fully justified reason to end their lifes!" is beyond me on more than one level.
