I’ve been wondering how to prevent squirrel nudists from flaunting their stuff in my yard. The Internet is here to help! From the site: “Squirrel Underpants are real! They started as an April Fools joke, but the reaction to them was so strong we decided to actually make them. […] Each pair of tiny briefs has a 3″ waist and is made of 100% cotton. Also good for hamsters, frogs and gerbils.” Note: we do not recommend actually attempting to cloth wild animals, unless you enjoy having scars and rabies.

Bizarre Taxidermy You’ll Either Love or Loathe

Standard

PETA may still object, but the specimens are a far cry from hunting trophies mounted on a wall.

The online craft marketplace known as Etsy is home to some unique, gorgeous and, at times, totally bizarre items. (Maybe that’s why it’s called a bazaar, right?) (Sorry.) One of the site’s latest trends definitely fits that bill: carefully crafted, intricate and just slightly bizarre taxidermy animals.

(MORE: Etsy’s Handmade Wars)

The items range from a kamikaze duckling to a rock n’ roll guitar-playing rat and even a taxidermy mouse necklace. Divya Anantharaman, a Brooklyn-based artist who says she’s “always been fascinated by nature’s mythology and oddities, and their relationships to the ones we create” has a particularly eye-catching collection. On her Etsy page, she describes her crafts as “somewhere between nature and fantasy.” All the animals Anantharaman uses are ethically sourced, which she outlines in detail on her website.

See some of Anantharaman’s taxidermy work here, including a Pikachu-inspired mouse, a duiker, a bird and another mouse:

Feeling inspired? Anantharaman teaches a variety of taxidermy classes for those who are interested in trying  animal art out for themselves.
