Unusual Taxidermy of Dr. Seuss.

In early 1930s, Dr. Seuss embarked on a strange artistic project – he wanted to explore doing some sculptures.

Now this being Dr. Seuss, he didn’t want to just do any sculpture, so he did something called Unorthodox Taxidermy:

What was most unusual for these mixed-media sculptures was the use of real animal parts including beaks, antlers and horns from deceased Forest Park Zoo animals where Seuss’s father was superintendent.

This one to the left is the Mulberry Street Unicorn.
