I'm already super spoiled with great habitat dioramas and taxidermy at The Field Museum, but I had to jump at the chance to attend the 2017 World Taxidermy Championships to experience the latest innovations in taxidermy wildlife art for myself. 10/10 would attend again

The opening monologue in this video is a direct quote from the World Taxidermy Championships competition page: taxidermy.net/wtc/taxidermy
