really funny that "taxidermied fish" arent actually made from the fish. those fish plaques you see are just painted sculptures, you cant taxidermy fish. some guy shows with up with the dead fish and the artist makes fish fanart

A few eye catching finds from Dagfields, Cheshire, UK. Including slightly quizzical taxidermy!

to my therian friends who buy tails, or anyone who finds themselves with a taxidermied animal part they did not want: DO NOT BURY THEM. Do not throw them away either.
If you do not know the chemicals and materials used in the process, or cannot verify that they wouldn’t harm your natural environment, please keep them out of the ground. And always do your best to minimize waste, so don’t throw them out. Donate it to a local thrift shop, or give it to someone else.
The chemicals used to tan the skin, the chemicals used to degrease bones, the stuffing, and any parts replaced (such as eyes, nose, whiskers) are not always guaranteed to be safe for the critters and bacteria that break down the item. And if it’s from before 1980, it may not even be safe for you to touch or be near! If they’re that old or older, they are highly likely to contain arsenic.
Please be safe and considerate of your surroundings

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

They had a fun corner in the natural history museum in Bern about the taxidermy process, and they showed the effect the eyes have on how realistic or uh. disturbing. a mount is
Tumblr media
The first fox had all black eyes. Not super realistic for those who know red foxes usually have orange or greenish eyes, but still pretty cute
Tumblr media
The second one had normal fox eyes. I think they could've gone with a size or two smaller, but still. Regular orange eyes with a vertical pupil as it should be. But then. Oh. Oh no.
