By using these different animal body parts, Molina hopes to bring awareness to the danger faced by a multitude of species.

Unfortunately, De Molina was arrested on charges for illegally importing parts from endangered species. He plead guilty for importing parts from whole cobras, pangolins, hornbills, and the skulls of babirusa and orangutans from areas all over the world including Bali, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Canada, and China.
Hm. "I'm raising consciousness about endangered animals by paying poachers for their body parts." At any rate, these are pretty interesting.

Great use of the turtle shell. Plus it looks like it has cigarettes growing out of it's head. Cool creature.

The artist was arrested by the feds for illegally importing exotic/endangered animals.
