Crap Taxidermy

 We went to visit my sister and her partner last week because they've had twins! It was a lovely day and we all fell in love with the new additions to the family. 

As they live near Manchester we decided to break up the drive home with a stop to a museum in Stoke. It was quite odd in some respects, and completely empty, like we'd hired the whole place to ourselves. There was some beautiful things in there and some serious levels of craftsmanship.

There was also a good few bits of crap taxidermy.

These three were the best:- 

This squirrel was bringing new meaning to the term limp wristed. He also struggled to tie his shoelaces...

This armadillo lived how it died.... Halfway though performing Michael Jackson's "Bad" apparently...

And I'm just not sure what is going on with this squirrel's mouth? Is it chewing gum? Or is that a prolapse? Either way I don't want to find out! 

This last one isn't taxidermy (or at least I hope it isn't) but is easily the creepiest doll I've ever seen. Apparently it was an expensive toy in it's day - I would have paid a lot of money to keep the thing away from me!

What's the worst museum display you've ever seen? (I promise there were great ones there as well!)
