The Art of Taxidermy

Aikley Ward was embarrassed by his profession. He thought taxidermy should be used to give museum goers an accurate look at wildlife with the stuffed animals in something that looked as much like their natural environment as possible. The process often left lumpy, misshapen monsters, literally stuffed empty animal bags. During this time, Carl began to experiment with his own style of taxidermy. On one occasion he stole a zebra and worked on it through the night until dawn.
