Our second batch of summer stuff from surf-inspired Battenwear is a rare treat: a sequel that’s better than the original.

Battenwear Part 2 stays true to the first installment, featuring well-loved characters like the casually cool packable anorak in wheat; the funny, easy-going floral-printed five-pocket island shirt; and the sporty, all-purpose overhang shorts in navy.

The second batch also adds depth to the collection by introducing awesome new takes on the originals along with a couple of fascinating new characters. Now we’ve got anoraks and board shorts in 3 colors, overhang shorts in 4, and t-shirts in 5. Rounding out the cast: the new mustard yellow travel shell parka and the “Long Beach ‘72” t-shirt.

It is, like they say, an instant classic.

I do so solemnly swear that Kenai is the most photogenic arctic wolf on the planet :)

Couldn’t agree more. Gorgeous shot of our handsome man, thanks for the submission.

This is my tattoo honoring my pet cat. The photo was taken a few days after my first session; I still have one session to go and can’t wait until it’s finished.

Is that a frog riding a squirrel? Why yes it is! Neatorama contributor John Farrier recently shared some fascinating photos taken at Le Musée des grenouilles, The Frog Museum in Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland. If you’re in the mood for some whimsical amphibian taxidermy (and why wouldn’t you be?), then this is the place for you.

For obvious reasons, this awesome piece that includes a stuffed and bridled squirrel is our favourite. We’ll disregard his nakedness simply because the world didn’t have Squirrel Underpants back in the 1800s.

The frogs were collected and mounted by François Perrier during the mid-19th century:

“François Perrier loved frogs. From 1848 to 1860, he collected and preserved 108 of them engaging in decidedly non-batrachian behavior, such as attending school, marching in formation and riding squirrels.”

Head over to Neatorama to view more scenes of mid-19th century French life satirically depicted using stuffed frogs. It might just be the strangest thing you see today.
