Taxidermy

Taxidermy is the practice of preserving animal bodies by mounting or stuffing them for display or study. It’s an ancient practice, dating back thousands of years, with evidence of early taxidermy found in ancient Egyptian and Native American cultures. Today, taxidermy is used for various purposes, including scientific research, education, hunting trophies, and artistic expression. It requires skill in anatomy, sculpting, and preservation techniques to create lifelike representations of animals. While some people find taxidermy fascinating, others may find it controversial due to ethical concerns about the treatment of animals.
