Hi everyone, I did a quick search but didn't see anything on this. I found this on The Museum of Hoaxes website. Although it is fake, it looks really good, and if you see this picture popping up elsewhere, with people asking and speculating over it, you can confirm that it is infact a taxidermical creation!
Apparently it was going to be sold on Ebay, but Ebay put a stop to it. It would have been kind of a cool thing to own, not something you'd see in everyone's household, that's for sure!
Here is the link, to the article.
