Robert Marbury's Urban Beast Project
Known as a vegan taxidermist, Robert Marbury documents the existence of little known wild and feral plush animals inhabiting our urban environments. With tongue firmly in cheek, through his Urban Beast Project, Marbury hopes to garner attention and general concern for the plight of such strange creatures. As he describes on his webpage: while most of the Urban Beasts exhibited on his site "have met the end of their species, it is our hope that with exposure and attention many other Beasts will be saved."
This little brown beast is the lesser Yeti or Mestipho. "Mephisto has the identifying reddish-black hair covering his body and during his liftime his odor was almost unbearable to a new acquaintance." Despite his insane snarl, Mestipho is a gentle soul, a strict vegetarian, and severely endangered.
