Damn the Japanese and their ability to do the most bizarre things on earth and end up looking all the more innocent and sweet for it. I mean, it’s mean to be riding on these little pigs who are not built to carry this type of weight, but when you see the girl laughing at the end, it’s hard to care. Thank you BoingBoing.
Crappy taxidermy is a great new blog with some exceptionally disturbing, funny and crappy taxidermy works of art. Personally, I love the one above, but the whole site is fantabulous.
I love this post on the Times Uk site with 29 of the world’s most bizzare animals. The one above is a proboscis monkey, they have amazing noses don’t they?
Speaking of weird taxidermy, The Gopher Hole Museum in Alberta, Canada features cute, dressed up taxidermied gophers. There are over 47 dioramas. Interestingly, PETA, the #1 group you love to hate, is responsible for really pushing the publicity of this great tourist destination through their excessive whinning and bitching. Gee PETA, maybe it would help if you renamed gophers like you tried to do with “sea kittens.”
Neatorama has turned me on to one of the most disturbing Live Journal communities I’ve seen in a while. WTF? Taxidermy certainly does live up to its name. See example above for details. Why would you do that to a deer butt? Why?
I am severly disturbed by this comb created by Reid Peppard I’m all for taxidermy and fur-accessories, but putting the top half of a dead rodent in your hair is just freaky.
Anyone who lives in San Diego understands what panda fixations do to the public…there’s just too much attention whenever a panda bears a cub. But what about the other zoo animals? Thailand’s national symbol is the elephant, but these sweet, cute animals are getting ignored in the country in favor of the black and white bears. The solution? Make elephants into pandas! The results were just too cute.
The greatest niche animal photo site ever has come to my attention recently. Or at least, the greatest behind Muttskis (ahh shameless self-promotion how I love thee). Fuck Yeah Animals With Casts provides you with wonderful photos of nothing but animals in casts. They are too adorable.
I love this little photo set on Geeks Are Sexy. It’s adorable and really retells the story in an all new, furry way.
How on earth did he get such adorable flappy ears? For more pics, visit Izismile.
