"Triumphs of a Taxidermist" is an 1894 short story by British writer H. G. Wells.
Like much of Wells’ fiction, the Taxidermist remains unnamed and the story is a concealed assault on the English culture of the time of its writing.
The Taxidermist proudly tells the younger man of his accomplishments both grotesque and fraudulent.
The Taxidermist claims to have created a nonexistent species of New Zealand bird.
The Taxidermist of the title also appears in a second story, A Deal in Ostriches, published during the same year.
