      These guys always looked otherworldly to me. Almost alien...but beautiful.

      Hope it would be saved from incineration when dies.

      Guess what..... odds are it will be incinerated when the time comes ;)

      This depends on how civilised the zoo managers are.

      Could you please stop posting these comments under every photo, you have made your point clear and nobody will take you serious anymore if you continue posting these statements again and again and again....

      One wonders whether his obsession is due to being based in Ekaterinburg, the site of the deaths of the Romanovs - it must really annoy him that they were cremated rather than stuffed! :p:p:p

      We have found their bones, though in quite bad condition.
      But church urged to bury them :mad:

      @Elephas Maximus you should visit Taif Zoo in Saudi Arabia. They have a shed ful of all the animals that have died and are stuffed. The zoo keeper seemed very pleased to say "all these animals die at this zoo" although you probably wouldn't like the fact that all the skins are ripped and they are stuffed very unprofessionally with what I believe was straw ;)

      That reflects the development of taixdermy, natural history and appreciation of wildlife in this country.
      In Emirates, the situation is better (though there's only one professional company, everyone else stuffs with straw too).
      An instinct for preservation: meet the only Emirati taxidermist | The National

      @Blackduiker I think the same, perhaps one of the strangest and eerie looking monkey species.
