Hoping to see animals mounted in Africa both the very good and the very bad.

Sorry... I couldn't resist.

I'm looking forward to what folks share, though as someone who has been a taxidermist I will say that photos of bad taxidermy make me cringe. I really like the artistic stuff, not just a head on the wall.

See? That's what I just mentioned. Absolutely a visual "fingernails on a chalkboard" for me...

Apologies, LOL, but that is definitely bad.

It's the look I get from a couple of dogs when I do something they disapprove of; ie. Really? You expect me to eat this crap can dog food while you are about to stuff that cheeseburger in your mouth.

Beerkat, that has to be one of the funniest taxidermy works I have seen. Horribly bad, but hilarious.

That’s what he looked like, there’s a reason why it was offered as a cull hunt.

Lion looks like a lot of women today after too much work on their faces.

.......I very vaguely remember her. She was on some sort of talk show, before her plastic surgery, talking about the different types and numbers of cats she has and how much she enjoyed and identified with them.

Following her plastic surgeries she appeared on another talk show discussing why she wanted to look more like her cats.

A prefect example of what a little Hollywood fame can do when it goes to one's head.

THE LION'S FACE AFTER LISTENING TO PH SAY, SHOOT THAT LION!

From the display case of confiscated trophies at ATL: I personally think they did the guy a favor.

Actually, it perfectly expresses the last moment’s of the cat’s life in the middle of a Zambian interstate highway.

The carved shoulder bone is very cool.......the leopard....well looks like he has a finger up his arse.......

I was on a boating related forum for a while, and the most epic thread was about bad taxidermy. There is some hideous work out there and you have to feel bad for whoever paid for it, but dang its funny to look at!

At the shrink's office:

"Can you please point on this chart to how you feel today?"

It's cold and snowing here, I had to break down and go to the Walmart to pick up some items to fix a goose breast and venison stew. Watching everyone in Walmart and seeing the bare shelves. I'm going with #11.

There are just some things not meant to be seen, and when seen a person just can't forget.
