Good taxidermy is hard to find in the US, and even harder to import.

We continue to look.


Perhaps when you're looking to purchase something already killed.

In our "game" room we have plenty that were done by a local grandfather/father/son operation...of course you bring something you killed to them, they don't sell stuffed animals to the general public.

In the 1970s I went up to Andy Warhol's "Factory" to deliver something and I saw "Cecil" the stuffed Great Dane. It was very nice taxidermy.

Legend has it that Cecil had been the pet of Cecil B DeMille. I don't know if this is true.

I like marine taxidermies, which is not stuff you hunt or kill really. Also, the big African cats are nice but generally quite rare now unless you have good contacts at zoos where they might sell you the skins of animals that died.

One of our more colorfully tacky local restaurants, Davy Crockett's Roadhouse (sample specialty drink: "spring water," made with PGA and Sundrop soda), has a rather large taxidermied bear in the lobby; it really outshines the boar's and deer's heads on the walls. Naturally, cocktails and draft beers are served in a so-called "grizzly" sized mug.

Not an interior suitable specimen though. Taken from here.

If anyone is passing through the Seattle area on I-5, I recommend a quick stop in Federal Way to visit Weyerhauser's Bonsai collection.


I am amazed and awed by bonsai. I wish someone could explain to me how it is that deciduous bonsai wind up with miniature leaves. I don't understand that.

My father managed to do so with his 606 lb marlin.
