Taxidermist
1. Taxidermists prepare skins of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish to create lifelike 3-D representations for display in museums, or as trophies and
memorials. The skin (including fur, feathers or scales) is removed from the
specimen, preserved using various methods, and mounted on an artificial
frame. Taxidermists in museums also prepare specimens for study, research
and collection purposes. They may employ the technique of skeletal
assembly to demonstrate the structural and anatomical features of a
specimen.
Taxidermists may perform the following tasks:
take measurements and note features of specimens before mounting
reproduce specimens by moulding and casting with a variety of materials including
plaster, polymers, plastic, fibreglass and polyurethane foam
remove and clean skin and treat with preservatives
place skin on a model to reproduce the exact size and shape of the specimen
preserve and prepare skeletons through the use of chemical and non-chemical
treatment
pose small animals and preserve them by freeze-drying
prepare native and non-native animals for special exhibits
prepare and preserve biological material for museum displays
collect and preserve foreground material (plant, soil and leaf litter) for creating
natural environments for diorama displays
