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.

The killing of animals by hunters as a trophy has declined in popularity significantly. The times when a hunter was admired with his gun in front of a killed elephant are over. Nowadays, the killing of exotic and rare animals for hunting purposes is viewed critically, because many animal species have become extinct or have been decimated too severely through hunting, and the killing of animals only to obtain trophies is also viewed critically, and rightly so.

Tiger

Birds

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.

Fox and turtle.

Leopard

Head of tiger and leopard.

The Jackalope is a popular mythical creature in the western United States.

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.

Elk head trophy.

Heads of snakes on boots and a biker wallet.

Also shrunken heads are trophies.

-Im weitesten Sinne gehört auch die Taxidermie zum Thema Leder. Taxidermie bezeichnet die Kunst zur Haltbarmachung von Tierkörpern. Diese werden zu Studienzwecken oder als Trophäe genutzt. Die Tierpräparation ist eine aufwändige Arbeit und bedarf großen Geschicks, damit die ausgestopften Tiere am Ende lebensecht aussehen. Personen, die solche Präparationen machen, werden als Tierpräparator bezeichnet.
