Emmen zoo display 06

That is so bizarre

Wow, what kind of display is this for?

What are all the animals looking at?

These are stuffed animals who were displayed at the wallanganda exposition. Since this exposition was a complete failure, they removed all the stuffed animals and other artefacts, and build an indoor playground instead. The stuffed animals are now on display in an empy building in the park. I rather see some living animals here, but this is stil better than an empty building offcourse....

So apparently they stuff every animal that dies at this zoo?

And why not? It seems a shame to throw away anything that dies in good feather or pelage.

No, they don't stuff every animal that dies here. Some are, but most ( like 99%) are destroyed, after section to determine the cause of death. The emphasis is on section, because determining the cause of death could mean to spot a contageous disease ( or other harmfull things like stuff visiors feed to animals)in an early stage.
