The fire's survivors were a motley crew: A parrot, a peacock and a baboon. All of them stuffed. Now, after the devastating blaze, the animals' home, famed Parisian taxidermy store Deyrolle, is rising like a phoenix from the ashes. An auction this week at Christie's Paris will raise funds to help restore the 177-year-old shop to its former glory.
