Not many people will have seen one of these!

It is a very rare specimen photographed today in the trophy room at Chateau Rivau... The trophy was mounted in the nineteenth century... Maybe one of our regular readers can help with the latin name!!



All we can say is...

We just love the sense of humour with both of these...

We also thought they were taking the **** with this one...

Get the traps set!!!!
