@piucca Why does this topic fascinate me? And I seriously think this is the best ever. YES. There must be bows, bow ties, mustaches, GOOD THINGS LIKE THAT.

Omg. Yes.

taffy789 • 18 February 2012 at 10:27 PM

Taxidermy? 😊

I'm taking biology next year, so I hope we get to divesting frogs. 😊
I'm not squeamish around it, cause I've hunted with my dad forever, and I'm used to seeing dead animals, and animals being skinned. ^^
(I'm USED to it, but it still grosses me out a bit. XP Just a bit. XD )

I love how you're helping the squirrel look so cute ❤️
Are you going to bury it? ^^

piucca • 18 February 2012 at 10:51 PM

@ieatburgers
I love your user name hehee.

@cafe
Nope, I think Al is very cute 😊
hahaa it does have whiskers ^^;

@pendulum
I guess because it is out of the ordinary.
A bow would be great!

@taffy789
Yes, stuffing dead animals to make them look alive again 😋
Fun stuff hehee.
No worries, it grosses me out too lol.

@whitefall
If your asking about the insides, no.
Just a happy white plastic bag to a happy
green truck that comes to my house two times a week.
Since the skull on this one LOOKS intact I am going to keep it.

taffy789 • 18 February 2012 at 10:57 PM

@piuci - Yeah, I know what taxidermy is, but I know realize that I put a "?" on the end of it. XD

@piccua
Discect it. In 6th grade, we disected frogs. Our group got the only female frog with eggs. 😸

@piucca
8O OMG!!! I like live animals more ❤️

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 11:21 AM

@taffy789
I figured ^^;
Wasn't sure if you knew it as
taxidermy or something else 😋

@leafpelt
Luck you!
Must have been very interesting to see how all
of the eggs were strung together by a thin membrane 😃

@petraandlana
I like alive animals better then dead ones as well ^^;
Dead ones aren't as fun, some reason they do not play back hahaa

@piucca when i see dead animal i start to cry 😸

leafpelt • 19 February 2012 at 11:29 AM

@piccua
Yes, it was very intresting, but very slimy. I took out the eggs my self. Usually we just disect owl pellets, but sixth grade was better. It was a little gross and smelly , but eggs in a frog are considered lucky.

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 11:30 AM

@petraandlana

^^; That is a slight over reaction.
Everything dyes, animals, planet, stars, planet, everything 😊
I don't think you have enough tears lol.

@piucca
My "friend" killed the bird wich falls down from the tree. I was trying to save her but then comes she....

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 11:34 AM

@petraandlana
Well if it was a baby it was very unlikely that it would have lived.
Mercy killing is understandable in special circumstances.

@piucca
i sve her othar two brothers 😸

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 11:36 AM

@petraandlana
Awesome 😃
That is great that you were able to help them.

Deleted • 19 February 2012 at 11:37 AM

@piucca
My life is very full of animals 😸 I love to help them ^^

univea • 19 February 2012 at 11:49 AM

@piucca
I wanna see your second one.
For some reason I am very fascinated.
XD *lurking*
I saw 'dead squirrel' and clicked the topic before the page loaded. XD

blissy • 19 February 2012 at 11:58 AM

@piucca

Aww. D: </3

But you're photography ideas are as great as ever. 😋

I'd really like to see the second picture once you've finished too! 😃

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 11:58 AM

@petraandlana
Sounds like a happy life 😃

@univea
I am uploading a photo of it.
I have been quite sick with an ear infection,
so I have yet to do anything but freeze it.
Not even sure what sex it is. 😋

Here is a photo.


@blissy
Al is finished now ^^;
The new one has yet to be started.

univea • 19 February 2012 at 12:00 PM

@piucca
will it be sleeping too? I mean, just like it's positioned now.

pwuffy • 19 February 2012 at 12:00 PM

NOPE
CHUCK TESTA
jk, its cute 😊 i guess. o_o;

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 12:04 PM

@univea
Not sure, it is darn cute in it's current pose.
I was going to have it in a suit and a top hat o.o;
Maybe a cane to help it stand 😊

It doesn't sit right with me to do that though.
To desecrate a body for art... idk

rawrcookies08 • 19 February 2012 at 12:05 PM

@piucca O_e POOR SQUIRELL ☹️ Eww XD

pwuffy • 19 February 2012 at 12:05 PM

also, this is going to be a really weird question, but does the skin ever deteriorate or rot? o_o

rawrcookies08 • 19 February 2012 at 12:06 PM

@piucca O_e POOR SQUIRELL ☹️ Eww XD

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 12:08 PM

@rawrcookies08
Yes poor thing ^^;

@pwuffy
If done incorrectly, yes.
If you do not take the proper steps it would rot very quickly.
Once dry they should not rot unless exposed to water.

Al is 100% dried up right now and should
not change for the next 50+ years.

rawrcookies08 • 19 February 2012 at 12:09 PM

@piucca Oops double post. We get to dissect a frog at the end of this year 😃 I did sheep brains in third grade, it was fun. Lol

pwuffy • 19 February 2012 at 12:10 PM

@piucca okay, thanks for clearing that up ^^ once i heard of taxidermy i always wondered if they rotted O.O

piucca • 19 February 2012 at 12:12 PM

@rawrcookies08

Third grade seems a bit of a waste.
Children of that age will not retain the technical information.
The memory of playing with brain will stay though 😋

Third grade I did owl vomit (dry) o.o;
Ninth was a frog
Eleventh was cow eyes

@pwuffy
That would be quite foul o.o;
I wouldn't have it in my house lol
