@curiouscollecting: I often get asked if I cry looking at animals in my collection. The answer to that is no, however that doesn’t mean I’m not moved. Especially when I was holding the piglet, I truly did feel a lot of emotion. These were lives, babies, beings and I really do care about that. Sometimes I really wish I could give them life, and just hold them. Make them feel loved. But I can’t, they’re gone. So this is my way of giving them life again, of loving them after their passing, and taking care of them. #wetspecimen #piglet #piglets #taxidermy #preservation #biology #study #collection #collector #jar #vultureculture #oddities #odditiesandcuriosities
