a very cool thing that is a bit weird and was popular and created in the Victorian times but went out of fashion in the 20th centaury but in the 21st centaury became very popular.
the word TAXIDERMY come from the Latin word taxis meaning movement and derma meaning skin so it means movement of skin.
this process to taxidermy an animal involves skinning a animal tanning its skin and placing it on a form typically made of foam.
ps it is a very cool hobby and job
