The awesome ones at the end are from an artist named Enrique Gomez De Molina. He's actually facing charges for smuggling in a lot of the endangered species that went into the sculptures. As cool as they are artistically, it kind of chaps my ass that dude was/is partaking in the trade of endangered species, and even furthering it in some ways.

[–]nukagirl 62 points63 points ago

I thought this was pretty rad until I read your comment. Now I'm a bit depressed.

Vivisection! what a wonderful thing!(the book, not the movie)

[–]Harlottoscarrah 3 points4 points ago

I thought of Moreau as soon as I read the title of the post. I was waiting to see some reference to Wells in the comments. Thank you.

I am reminded of Avatar the Last Airbender.

[–]BearJuden113 5 points6 points ago

Ctrl+F Avatar. I was not disappointed.

[–]piezocuttlefish 11 points12 points ago

Similar items can be found by viewing the personal galleries of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists.

[–]Journalisto 19 points20 points ago

They, especially the first one, sort of remind me of this strange doll my daughter picked out at the flea market when I told her she could choose one.

[–]Kuynn 6 points7 points ago

Whoever made these must be Shou Tucker, the sewing-life alchemist.

[–]idontcare428 5 points6 points ago

The majority of these are made by New Zealand artist Andrew Lancaster. You can also check out some of his creations on his facebook page.

[–]RlyRiley 3 points4 points ago

Like photoshop with animal carcasses.

[–]project_seven 4 points5 points ago

They get cooler the further you scroll down.

[–]iamthemantis 5 points6 points ago

Dr. Seuss also used taxidermy to create weird animals.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/nateswartphoto/6786487514/

It think this is a picture from a San Francisco art gallery. I remember seeing it there.

[–]GuantanaMo 4 points5 points ago

These are called Wolpertingers in Bavaria. Cool stuff.

[–]uber_elena 4 points5 points ago

Some of those are really neat, and the work is obviously very well done...but it seems like a slightly disrespectful use of animal parts.

[–]Vladimus44 4 points5 points ago

Does this remind anyone else of the game Impossible Creatures?

[–]tastykittens 4 points5 points ago

Has science gone too far?

[–]BubblesOblivion 3 points4 points ago

[–]MrEvilPHD 3 points4 points ago

These are actually pretty sweet. 9 is the only one that kinda made me WTF

[–]discfiend 2 points3 points ago

I believe these things are called Wolpertinger in German and Woipadinga (sp?) in Bavarian. It sure seems like someone with time on their hands has spent a few hours on these.

[–]apteryx_274 2 points3 points ago

so Wolpertinger is the German version of the American Jackalope?(a Jackrabbit with Antelope Horns) Cool! EDIT: Sweden has the Skvader. I am Skvader, Darth Skvader.(cue imperial march.)

[–]alphaferric 2 points3 points ago

Didn't say wtf till I got to the 4th one from the bottom. Reminds me of knife leg girl.

I like the Dodrio chicken.

My question: what are the arms from? o.O?

[–]NubianPrincess 2 points3 points ago

Strangely Beautiful. If you know him tell him I said so. People that think out of the box are badass.

[–]Deergoose 0 points1 point ago

How offended would god be if he put all that thought into making the animals and this guy comes along and makes shit so much cooler than he can.

Fucking Chimeras.

[–]Imhereforthebooze 2 points3 points ago

I'd like to see him make that animal Michael Scott described when trying to figure out what new diety to worship.

[–]SaulsAll 2 points3 points ago

The Last Airbender should take notes.

[–]God_of_Abraham 3 points4 points ago

artificial chimeras? I'm impressed. Now make them move and let's train them to fight!

People in the future are one day going to unearth these and think: WOW! We've discovered a new species, totally throwing future humans off. MWUAHAHAHA!

I'm sure this is how pokemon were created

[–]tjduncan1998 0 points1 point ago

So is this what inspired the new pokemons?

Sid from toy story. The later years.

[–]Toxicpopcorn 1 point2 points ago

I'd buy some fake ones. If they were realistically fake.

[–]xPye 1 point2 points ago

The first few were just creepy, then they got pretty good.

[–]rebel72 1 point2 points ago

Imagine living in a world where shit like that walked around? fuggen freaked myself out...

[–]Hellokitty706 0 points1 point ago

When i opened this i smelt a really horrible sent. .

[–]Usataro 1 point2 points ago

That is actually really creative. I mean, a little wtf, but some of those I would be interested to see what they were like in the wild. It's like alien fauna.

[–]Saxgoth 1 point2 points ago

I'd be mad about if it these weren't so well done!

[–]adamkoe 1 point2 points ago

not sure if serial killer-related, or actually kinda cool...

Does that 3 headed chicken remind anyone of a duodrio

[–]denim-chicken 1 point2 points ago

[–]clearlyclassy 1 point2 points ago

This is very impressive, what a strange kind of artistic genius.

[–]Supaah 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the animals off of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[–]Spring_Break 1 point2 points ago

I think a lot of these are really beautiful.

[–]hotdogsandhamburgers 1 point2 points ago

Is it just me or are numbers 7 and 12 kind of majestic?

[–]Jaksongitr 1 point2 points ago

[–]PoopFilledPenguin 1 point2 points ago

Some of these are actually quite majestic.

[–]Jukepot 1 point2 points ago

I think these are radical, I had an idea like this once but I don't know how to do taxidermy. I absolutely adore the one that looks like it has 4 goose/duck heads and necks for legs and feet? Genius.

[–]Snuggadillo 1 point2 points ago

Those are actually two separate exhibits, though I'm not sure if the first group was. The very well made ones, with the gray backround, were done by a woman who faced charges for her art work. The crappy ones... Are, well, just shit.

A few thousand years from now after he, his children and their children carry on his tradition and then all die off. man will stumble into his stuff a few feet below top soil and and be like "dude, I am telling you... they knew aliens, their science was primitive but here are fossils of some weird crap that is long extinct here."
