king 12,038 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 That now leopard is shameful really. But like you say limited resources. Any other nice examples in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 32,406 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Prefer a good photo of the living thing myself, but something strangely attractive about taxidermy, the rural science classroom when I was at school was absolutely full of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,491 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Makes a change to see some decent examples, seems so many are terrible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutally honest mate,even the pangolin the guy had just finished was shoddy,they make their own forms and cant get eyes,poverty stricken country so they have to make do with,and the taxidermist is self taught.

Money is needed elsewhere can't blame them really i suppose.still a shame though.a student taxidermist visiting them for a few months could teach them some tricks of the trade so to speak. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
