An unusual zoological window display at a Dunedin auction house is causing a bit of a stir.
Proctors Auctions in George St is displaying an assortment of exotic taxidermied animals in its front window before an auction later this year.
Animals from the private collection include a lion, a moose, water buffalo, a baboon, dozens of mounted deer heads, various birds and lizards.
Auction house owner Ronald Proctor said all the animals had been shot in the 1960s by a Queenstown "big game" collector. They had been part of an exhibit in Queenstown called Wildlife World until about 10 years ago.
Since going up in the shop's front window the display has captured the attention of the passing public.
