Taxidermy (from the Greek for arrangement of skin) is the act of mounting or reproducing dead animals for display or for other sources of study. Taxidermy can be done on all vertebrate species of animals including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. The methods that taxidermists practice have been improved over the last century, heightening taxidermic quality and lowering toxicity.
