Taxidermy
Taxidermy is the art of preserving and mounting animals' skins or skeletons to create realistic displays of their lifelike appearance. The process involves carefully removing the animal’s skin, treating it with chemicals to prevent decay, and then stuffing or mounting it onto a form or frame. This technique is used for educational purposes, wildlife art, and conservation, allowing people to appreciate animals in a preserved, natural-looking state. Skilled taxidermists pay close attention to detail to ensure the mounted animals accurately reflect their original pose, texture, and appearance.
