TAXIDERMY is the art of preserving and mounting animal specimens. It is a combination of two Greek words – “taxis” and “derma” – which means skin arrangement. It is one of a museum’s special methods to preserve dead animals’ skin and mount it on artificial bodies to make it appear as lifelike as if it were in its natural habitat.
Nearly every nation in the world has a natural history museum to educate their societies on the variety of fauna and flora found in their respective countries. – May 9, 2022.
