The 5 Most Horrifying Examples of Bad Taxidermy
YES, THESE ARE ALL REAL!
Animals are mounted and carefully preserved as part of the craft of taxidermy for display reasons. But sometimes it's not done effectively, and the outcomes can be downright horrific. Here are 10 of the most horrifying instances of bad taxidermy.
LSD CAT
Cat?
This looks like a house cat from a few million years ago that found a naturally occurring stash of magic mushrooms. The poor cat is on a bad trip and seeing things that aren’t really there!
Yikes, don’t get your botox from the same place this cat went to.
I actually know what is going on here. This is really good taxidermy because it correctly reenacts this animal's last moments of life. You see, this cat was in prison and accidentally dropped the soap while in the shower. This was the facial expression to the T, so well done to the artist.
This is bad taxidermy.
Stalker GOAT
Goat…
This goat looks like it isn’t allowed to be within 10 miles of a school.
At least the taxidermist made it look like it is truly still alive because I feel as if it is going to come through my computer screen a grab my cheeks non-consensually.
What if this pose was requested by the customer? THAT would be cause for a psych evaluation. It puts the goat in a weird a** pose or else it gets the hose again.

This is bad taxidermy.
Otter…ly embarrassing
Alien Otter
This is unacceptable. Who thought it was ok to taxidermy a tube sock like this?
It looks like a claymation poo.
The face says it all. It is for sure sad to be in the world.
This is bad taxidermy.
Anger Therapy Dog
The Upset Boi Dog
The brilliance of this taxidermy piece is that you can’t exactly pin down whether the dog is feeling anger or surprise. So we will call it angprise that this taxidermy piece is pursuing to establish. Term coined and trademarked by Chelsidermy.com
It looks like he lost a fight with a leaf blower.
I think this dog and the LSD CAT have the same origin story, to be honest.
Actually, this piece of taxidermy may be useful to have in every day life. Picture this, let me set the scene for you. You are out having fun on a date night and no worries in the world. While you are out and about, a burglar sneaks into your house. You knew this day would come though, and you have purchased a piece of taxidermy for just such an occasion. You chose to place it near the front door. Upon entry to your home, the burglar sees the face of the demon-infused dog and it scares actual turdage out of his bungus. He runs away screaming and never shows his face again. You win.

Squishy Faced Wolf
This wolf fell off of the ugly tree and broke a branch off in his aaaaaa…nd basically I am saying he looks low IQ.
What in the actual pancake head heck is going on here? This poor wolf’s jaw is so slanted that his dentist would need GPS to locate the correct canine tooth.
This is the result of starting to practice headstands during infancy.
The most normal part of this bad taxidermy animal is the teardrop tattoo under its right eye.
This is bad taxidermy.
There is a certain amount of satire in this article about bad taxidermy, but these pieces really have been done very bad. These are most likely pieces done for paying customers, and that is sad for whoever is receiving these. They very well may be animals that meant something to the owner and getting your pet back in this shape would be shocking to say the least. So, if you need your taxidermy done right, make sure you vet whoever it is that is going to work on it for you.
