This Is Just Plain Wrong of the Day: “The End of History” is an honest-to-nastiness high ABV (55%) beer product produced by Scotland-based craft brewery BrewDog, which comes complete with its very own taxidermied rodent koozie.

This blond Belgian ale is infused with nettles from the Scottish Highlands and Fresh juniper berries. Only 12 bottles have been made and each comes with its own certificate and is presented in a stuffed stoat or grey squirrel. The striking packaging was created by a very talented taxidermist and all the animals used were road kill.

Each bottle will set you back a cool $760, but, as I understand it, there’s nothing quite like swigging a tall cold one while staring deep into the vacant, hopeless gaze of dead vermin.

Commanding a view of the bluish-green Alpsee lake and girded by dark forests, King Ludwig’s fairy-tale marble castle Neuschwanstein rises from a lofty rock west of Hohenschwangau in Bavaria, Germany.

Madhuri, an Indian elephant, swings a monitor lizard around by its tail. The unlucky creature had been swept off the ground and was carried around for a number of days by the elephant. With its tail firmly clamped in the animal’s trunk the lizard was swung around and occasionally put back on the ground. The scene was captured by Jagdeep Rajput during a trip to Corbett National Park in India
