Taxidermy: How to Do It


there are many people they don’t know
what’s mean taxidermy there are people
they call me for a taxi but I said you
have the wrong number
we naturalized the animal what is that I
said when somebody died what you do do
you expose the body we do with the
animals then you could keep it for a
hundred thousand 50 years they say
Christ I didn’t know it was like that
and I always tell them my work is to do
taxidermy and the name of my company is
taxidermy safari I was 22 years old
I was working in a company in the
weekend me and my brother and one friend
in the garage we used to make taxidermy
the way we started I took a
correspondence court in the States
it cost me $15 u.s. when I start and the
way to do what they tell us more you do
more you have perfection and we start
that way
when we get the animal from the customer
we have to remove this call we have to
split the lips the nose the ears and the
eyes we have to clean the inside of the
puff you have to make sure they’re only
the nails all the rest is removed after
you have to remove all the fat from the
height when that’s right after they put
the foam and the felt I got 11 freezer
it’s all for customer all their names
are wrong like this I sell for a
white-tailed deer when we have the
mannequin we’re going to put it on the
mannequin
when that part is finished it’s going to
go on the other side maybe another
worker who’s going to finalize the bird
one is dry after they make the base they
finalize and we ship it with taxidermy
when you do an animal with is height
with a mannequin and all the things they
go together you could keep it for a
hundred years yeah I got the specimen of
today it’s mannequin my clients I got so
many clients for Museum I got some
University they need some specimen I got
some for movies two years ago last year
there was a movie they call Congo Rama
there was a mu and they need that animal
for a movie and they were lucky because
I had one in my freezer I got some pet
owners that is for a cat those people
they are so emotional sometimes they
bring their animal and do you see they
are crying like a baby because they used
to be with their animals and they want
to keep it like a sweetie we did a dog
for a customer
somebody who do the paint they’re an
artist to us is the same thing we have
to make sure that the animals looks real
you have to make sure to make the
natural pause of the animal you have to
make sure that the animals when you look
in the nature is that that kind of
position
it’s not really a hobby now for me we
have to be an artist we have to make
perfection my father he said always
you’re going to be a priest
I think so today he’s wrong
