welcome fellow travelers today on Exit Thru the Gift Shop we are at Paxton Gate
Paxson Gate has a wide selection of taxidermy available
look at these guys up here everything from a zebra mountain goat
caribou ibex
or this beautiful juvenile porcupine
they also have carvings like this carved cow skull it's amazingly intricate
considering it's on the top of a cow skull African baboon buffalo skull or hyena
this is very cool a fossilized trilobite
also found a large selection of fossils and different types of rocks
some fossilized whale ears a variety of assorted shark's teeth
more trilobites I think if I had a fossil collection I would probably
collect different types of trilobites they also have wet specimens like this
fetal cow
or this bearded iguana
here's a cave Bearpaw
here's a variety of snakes that are in a globe
the beautiful two-headed calf on display
okay I want to show you guys something but this is a little bit more graphic so
if you are a little bit squeamish then maybe skip ahead now that's your final
warning three two one
so this is fetal sheep twins that are actually still in the uterus and this
has been shellacked and mounted as some sort of trophy plate it's incredible
some regular taxidermy animals chicks squirrels baby groundhog and if that's
not enough for you you can dress up some mice these guys there's a little no one
some mouse magnets put that on your fridge
well what's that guy doing over there these wall-mounted octopuses are amazing ... octopi?
I'm guessing that the fossil aquarium is a little bit easier to take care of than live fish
and they said you didn't have a heart
or if you're not interested in animals maybe you can just buy a human skull
and since we're in Portland you can put a bird on it at the faulkner event
all right that's it today from Paxton Gate this is a very very very cool shop there
is so much to see an explore maybe not for the faint of stomach but for those
