Enrique Gomez De Molina is a taxidermy artist from Miami, Florida.  De Molina gained recognition for his taxidermy for a few reasons.  Firstly, he creates some very unusual creatures when he is mixing up parts from several animals.  Secondly, and more notably, De Molina was sentenced for wildlife smuggling and is currently in prison.

De Molina used connections he had in several countries worldwide to illegally acquire and import both living and dead animals.  He was acquiring animals that were on the endangered species list to create his art.  In addition to a 20 moth jail sentence, De Molina also received a $6,000 fine, one year's probation, and he must forfeit all smuggled wildlife in his possession.

Check out a video with De Molina explaining his art below.
