Taxidermy Octopus, Real Octopus Specimens Animal Specimen in Resin for Science Classroom Science Education, Great Gift for Fans of Taxidermy, Animal Skull, Oddities, Biology (3 x 3 x 1 inch)

Good specimen. A bit smaller than I would like but great for the mantel.

Looking good for snake 🐍

I never thought I’d own a taxidermy squid—but now that I do, it’s easily one of the most bizarrely fascinating pieces in my collection. The moment I unboxed it, I knew it was going to be a conversation starter. And I was right. First off, the craftsmanship is wild. The tentacles are preserved with eerie precision, curling just enough to look lifelike without veering into horror movie territory. The eyes? Glossy and haunting. It’s like it’s still watching the ocean floor… or maybe me. Either way, it’s got presence. I placed it on a shelf between my vintage diving helmet and a jar of ethically sourced sea glass, and it instantly became the centerpiece. Friends come over and say things like, “Is that real?” or “Why do you have a squid?” And I just smile and say, “Because it’s awesome.” What surprised me most is how oddly elegant it is. The muted tones, the texture, the way it casts shadows—it’s strangely beautiful. It’s not just a specimen; it’s art. And yes, it’s a little weird. But that’s the point. If you’re into marine biology, oddities, or just want something that makes people stop and stare, a taxidermy squid is a bold, unforgettable choice. I didn’t know I needed one… until I had it.

My daughter loves odd gifts and this was a very cool gift for secret Santa. Good quality. You can see it clearly 360. The no eyeballs adds to its cool factor. It’s lightweight. So can’t be used for a paperweight. Daughter loves it.

After ordering I wished I didnt. Hope that they arent ki$led just for this purpose. Its very interesting and well made and the gift recipient also likes oddities.

High quality!

Beautiful specimen! Love!!

This is an amazing gift to give. My 13 yr old granddaughter just loved it. It’s not super big, but the way it was displayed in the resin, you can see a lot of the cephalopod. Once my grand daughter opened the box up, every one else said “well, we can’t beat that gift.” He has a lot of other creatures encased in resin, check out the website.

Bought for a gift. They loved it

Had a preserved Octopus for many years as a child which was liquid based. This one is heaps better being encased in resin and so clearly presented. Excellent specimen and a talking point for young children on my desk. It's just the right size too and the Octopus is quite large. Good value for money. Comes in a lovely box as well.

Absolutely wicked gift, great quality

Great quality! Nice and small for the shelf full of other dead things. Pleasently surprised by how nice this is.
