31 Days of Happiness Countdown: a tour that'll make you see taxidermy a new way. (Day 10)
Hello and welcome to Day 10 of Upworthy's 31 Days of Happiness Countdown! Each day between Dec. 10 and Dec. 31, we're sharing stories we hope will bring joy, smiles, and laughter into our lives and yours. It's been a challenging year for a lot of us, so why not end it on a high note with a bit of happiness? Check back tomorrow for another installment!
Watch the first 30 seconds of this video and you will see one of the internet's greatest examples of pure unabashed glee. That's the only way I can describe host Emily Graslie's reaction to the World Taxidermy Championships.
And if taxidermy doesn't strike you as an art form, oh boy, it will after this. This isn't the weird fish on your uncle's wall or that one Twitter account. These are seriously beautiful. From the raccoon with egg on its face to the ducks gliding in for a landing, you could definitely see these in a museum somewhere, couldn't you?
I know taxidermy might seem kind of weird, but honestly, Graslie's enthusiasm is infectious and if anyone is really this excited about something, you've got to sit down and listen for a while. You might get excited too.
