Taxidermy - Mounted animals
In the widest sense, taxidermy falls under the umbrella of leather. Taxidermy is the art of preserving, stuffing and mounting animal skins for study or display purposes. Preparing the animal is an elaborate art, requiring great skill, so that the animals look alive. People who practise this skill are called taxidermists.
Tiger
Ermine with summer fur and marmot.
Lion
Cobra in the fight against attackers (seen in the DLM - German leather museum in Offenbach, Germany).
Young crocodile.
Leopard
Aga toad and bear.
Animal heads
In some cases, particularly for trophies, only the head is preserved. The heads are then mounted and used as wall decorations.
Head of leopard and bear.
Head of tiger and leopard.
Before the great depression in 1929 it was the fashion to have leather handbags with incorporated animal heads.
Crocodile head and iguana head.
Crocodile head and iguana head.
Bullfrog head and armadillo head.
Heads are not only processed on handbags. They can be used as trophies, decorations and for other accessories. Also human heads are preserved.

Heads of snakes on boots and a biker wallet.
Also shrunken heads are trophies.
