I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of taxidermy. I lived in Paris for a while and would regularly visit a legendary store named Deyrolle. Not only did they have every butterfly and bug imaginable, but also every bird and animal. And I’m talking about the full gamut - think Noah’s Ark - they even had a Golden Retriever if memory serves correct. If you are ever in Paris, this is an absolute must.

Deyrolle is right next to Saint Chappelle, known as the most beautiful room in the world. Just take a look - this is one of the most special places I’ve ever been.

I was also sent a link yesterday to Custom Creature Taxidermy, a shop that does “fantasy mounts”. I’m not sure what to say abut this so I’ll just show a few pictures. Wait, just one gag, “that squirrel is nuts!”
