There is a taxidermists on Essex road Islington with a Polar Bear in the window.
Has anyone seen it?
Apparantly every animal on display has died of natural causes. Even if their natural habitat is the Arctic?

Yep
a great window display. One day that bear will be mine.
It would be nice to have it
as a coat holder or something.
yep
i see it every day :)
it's really hilarious.
i want to go in and take photos!
Yes about 867 times
as I lived round the corner for 3 years.
I think 'Sew Fantastic' is a better pun.
You arent allowed to take pics.
Real shame?
are you not??!
:(
No, there is a sign in the window.
The bloke seems a bit of a dick to be honest.
He has stuffed rats and left them in the window to make it look like they have died there. Haha.....
are creatures in the arctic immortal?
No, but do you think you or anyone else would
be around to see a Polar Bear drop dead?
If a ploar bear drops dead...
and no one is there to see it or hear it, does it really die?
*Polar
Whats with the big paws!!!!!
If Olegrich was here
he could give you his Derren Brown/Get Stuffed anecdote
Even a hedgehog costs a few hundred quid I believe
Come on then, dont keep mum about it.
Whats the story?
it's hardly a clasic anecdote
just that Derren Brown bought his friend a stuffed animal for some reason I have forgotten
Yeah, probably stuffed with £50 notes
:D
amazing shop
great sense of humour too; my favorite thing in there is the 80s mobile phone in a glass case.
Ive been in there
its been there for years, must be a front for drugs.
Has a very strange smell too..
