THE ARCHIVE
Every specimen needs somewhere to be filed.
The Unnatural Fauna Club archive is an expanding record of illustrated wildlife, improbable behavior, and natural phenomena that require further documentation.
Each design entering the archive receives a permanent FIG. number, a title, and its own archival classification. Specimens are then grouped into Field Archives according to habitat, subject, or area of observation.
THREE FORMS OF OBSERVATION
UNNATURAL BEHAVIOR
Impossible animal behavior, documented without comment. Familiar occupations, rituals, and situations are reconstructed with the seriousness of a field observation.
NATURAL CURIOSITIES
Real organisms, adaptations, and biological phenomena that already seem improbable enough.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS
Real animal behavior bearing suspicious resemblance to our own — cooperation, competition, maintenance, organization, and other evidence from the field.
FIELD ARCHIVES
Field Archives organize specimens into broader areas of investigation.
The first expedition begins below the surface:
FIELD ARCHIVE No. 001 — MARINE OBSERVATIONS
Cephalopods, deep-sea organisms, symbiotic arrangements, unusual occupations, and other incidents of questionable marine conduct.
New Field Archives will open as the collection expands. Existing archives may also receive newly documented specimens — the FIG. numbering continues regardless of where a specimen is filed.
