The giraffe is beautifully taxidermied … except for the tragically unfortunate decision to mount the feet beneath the torso like some kind of freaky Ottoman.

#5 is a jackrabbit, quite different from the floppy-eared “What it should look like”.

  Agreed. The front feet on the jackrabbit look a little off to me, as though they’re not attached correctly, but it’s not bad work otherwise. Not like the other specimens here.

#10 is not a taxidermied boar, but rather a live specimen of the Mangalsita pig breed: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_L1UB__fiez0/SwnO93WA6oI/AAAAAAAACLU/5eKy3psAgBw/s1600/mangalitsa_boar.jpg

  BuzzFeed only posts the first image when you repost the “#” on a list. Angela was referring the the second picture under number 10, which is indeed a live animal (notice that it’s drooling, which taxidermied specimens don’t usually do). And the boar in the “what it should look like” image isn’t actually alive. It’s a photo taken by a hunter of his kill (notice the stick propping open the mouth). Either way, it appears to be a wild boar, rather than the (live) Mangalsita pig shown as “the taxidermy.”
