Cryptid Hair Samples: The museum houses actual hair samples attributed to various cryptids, including the Abominable Snowman and Bigfoot.

I learned that when Disney built some new Abominable Snowmen for the Matterhorn ride a decade or so ago they had trouble sourcing high-quality artificial fur since furs are no longer in fashion these days. Had to special-order it from France. (Or so it was claimed, anyway. Maybe they just secretly used the pelts from real Abominable Snowmen)

It would probably have been cheaper.
