But one thing they\u2019re also known for is their wacky and silly auctions. If you spend the time to browse and look around, you\u2019ll be greeted with some of the craziest auctions ever. For example there\u2019s the highly reported \u201cBritney Spears Lock of Hair, Red Bull and Lighter\u201d from a salon she stopped by at to get a haircut and who can forget the infamous \u201cVirgin Mary On A Toasted Cheese Sandwich\u201d. We thought it would be fun to search around for some silly animal related auctions and below is what we found.<\/p>\n<p>Without further intro, see our top picks for what we think are five silly (but fun) animal related auctions that are (or were) featured on eBay.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/Otter-Wild-Animal-Skull-Real-Bone-Museum-Artifact-Mammology-Science-School-\/190601668920?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item2c60bea938\" target=\"_blank\">Otter Skull<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; according to the eBay seller, this a Northern Otter skull. We\u2019re hoping an actual taxidermist collected this \u201cfine specimen\u201d as he refers to it and if you want it, it will only set you back all of $20 plus shipping. Who knew Otter skulls were so in demand?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5499\" title=\"otter-skull\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/otter-skull.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"218\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/Full-body-mount-Giraffe-hide-Rare-no-more-alowed-taken-\/220889190681?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item336e059119\" target=\"_blank\">Giraffe Hide from Africa<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; here\u2019s a genuine Giraffe hide from a reserve in Africa as explained by the eBay seller. He mentions in his listing that the full body skin is now sought after since Giraffe\u2019s are on the African no kill list. It seems this person has the hide right in the middle of their living room floor. Gross? We kind of of think so.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5500\" title=\"giraffe-hide-from-africa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/giraffe-hide-from-africa.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->3. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/HUGE-Vintage-Taxidermy-Alligator-Head-Wunderkammer-Freak-Sideshow-NOT-Gaff-\/280772733389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item415f5be9cd\" target=\"_blank\">Alligator Head<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; apparently a taxidermist has an extra alligator head in his hands and has decided to splash it on eBay for a possible taker. The seller goes on to mention that the head is HUGE, heavy and scary complete with green eyes, full teeth. He also notes that it came from a Greek fishing community in Tarpon, Springs Florida. Alligator head, anyone?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5501\" title=\"alligator-head\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funcage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/alligator-head.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/One-Piece-Randolph-Reindeer-Willy-Willie-Warmer-\/270850650345?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item3f0ff4f0e9\" target=\"_blank\">Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer Willie Warmer<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; yep, this is what you think it is.
