Scary Taxidermy Critters

Andrew Lancaster is a New Zealand taxidermist that has utilized the art form of stuffing pets or animals to different level as a result of setting up unattainable hybrids such as three-headed hens of winged possums. Lancaster is actually making his scary creatures for approximately two years, however he started doing taxidermy just after he migrated to New Zealand, from England, fourteen years back.
"I saw heaps of dead things on the side of the road and I thought it was a waste, ” he said, and determined these were excellent components for the purpose of his artwork. Lancaster claims he places the creatures on top of the warm water cylinder to dry up or even inside the fridge "under the ice cream and vegetables".
"From an animal rights perspective, once the animals are dead it’s not much of an issue. It makes no difference to the animals because they still get killed, ” he said.
