Taxidermy Information

The word taxidermy describes the many methods of creating a life-like three-dimensional representation of an animal for display. In some cases, the skin (feathers, fur etc.) of the specimen is preserved and mounted over an artificial armature. In other cases, the specimen is replicated completely with man-made materials.
