Darwin accountant trades tax for cane toad taxidermy

Key points

• Former accountant Mithran Selvaratnam runs a Darwin souvenir business that turns cane toads, crocodile skulls and other animal parts into taxidermy products. He began in 2017 after buying a stall at Mindil Markets, learning the craft at a Queensland bootcamp.
• Community toad busts at Territory Wildlife Park supply him with hundreds of toads at once.
• He says giving discarded animal parts a second life is rewarding, and his festive toads are being prepared for Christmas orders.
