Kendall Long made her appearance on The Bachelor where women vie for the affection of one man.
Kendall has a fairly unique set of interests with her. Fans will forever know her for being adventurous, nerdy, and how she is really into the art of taxidermy. Kendall explains that “[She] collects taxidermy so it was sweet to [her.]” Kendall isn’t shy about loving what she loves.
Kendall has a positive relationship with her pup, Odin, and shares a love for many other animals. Kendall told ABC that if she could be any animal, she’d be a Bat, claiming that “My sister said my spirit animal was a bat because I see beauty in dark things.”
Kendall has a vast collection of stuffed and deceased animals, which now adorn her home as pieces of repurposed decor. It’s not the most glamorous hobby, or even the most common, but I assure you, she likely doesn’t have plans to bring the tools of her hobby with her to the Bachelor Mansion.
Here are some reactions on social media from The Bachelor fans to Kendall’s love of taxidermy.
