Okay okay! So you wanna see fur? Nice soft silky velvety guard hairs and some sleek coat-lined fibers? I know you want it and here you go. These hairs belong to a very ancient red fox taxidermy that rests downstairs in my grandmother's house. When I was a little boy, man how times I could count the instances in which I would run my fingers through this vulpine's thick coat, wondering about the life he or she may have lived. I'm not a big aficionado for taxidermy but I also marvel at the coat of the animal or the features of a beast or creature I may not have viewed otherwise. Whether there life was taken in vain or not remains to be said. However, the value and knowledge, let alone the appreciation of the animal itself pays testament to a life all to itself.
