....to a good home

Anybody need some home decorations?

Wanted: Good, large home for vast animal collection

Ted Sliger's legacy stares at you in haunting fashion, hundreds of fixed eyes lovingly preserved but looking for a new, long-term home.

The 400 antelope, Gila monsters, a golden eagle, and even an Alaskan wolf are content for now at the Buckhorn Motel and Museum in east Mesa, their home for several decades at the historic former mineral baths.

But with Sliger's widow, Alice, now 98, and the immediate family uninterested in carrying on the family tradition, the animals' future is very much in doubt.


Go read the rest if you're interested, but remember that the stuffed bald eagle requires a federal permit!
