Taxidermist John Youngaitis moves his family's Cypress Hills studio from Brooklyn to Middle Village
Cypress Hills Taxidermy Studio, started by John Youngaitis's father, relocated from Brooklyn to this Metropolitan Avenue storefront in 2013; its mounted animals look out from the window toward a large cemetery. Youngaitis, the owner and only taxidermist, mostly mounts hunters' game and lends or sells pieces to bars and film shoots. In his father's time the shop received lions, tigers, zebras and animals that had died in zoos.
