I wouldn't like a taxidermy one in my house though, because I frankly think that's a bit freaky if not sad, particularly in a child's room.  On the other hand I have mentioned before how gracious I find them and how I would love to have a man-made one in my house adorning a corner.  Enjoy!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
