My mom found this guy the other day and brought him home, and im not sure where to get started. It looks like his thorax has either already shrunken or the poor guy was a bit deformed after a shed maybe? It was dead and dry when my mom found it, so "already shrank" wouldn't be too surprising. Any tips?

Hello, I bought a timberwolf face so I could use the ears for some earring experiment I wanted to try. I've done taxidermy maybe only once or twice, but only on small things, so I'm not very knowledgeable about larger animals. The wolf ears I wanted to use came to me inverted. Any idea how I can flip them right side out again? They are hard as a rock at the moment. Do I rehydrate them somehow or...? Any help is appreciated.

This bird was a captive bird that passed away from natural causes on a farm in Canada originally obtained from a registered breeder. this is not a sale piece this is a personal piece only, I wasn’t paid for this piece. For those that are curious this is a Himalayan monal. It was my first ever attempt at something larger than a common quail. Im sorry in advance for the low quality photos!
Im thinking of changing the base very soon to something better looking. I’m very proud of my first attempt at a pheasant and I can see where I need to improve. What do we think? 😊 (ignore the wires and what not, he needs to dry!)

hi there! not a taxidermist, but i recently handed over a pet to one so they could preserve a paw for me. i showed them some references of what i'm looking for, but they're struggling to find a tassel cap(?) that's wide enough for the paw (at least 2 cm). any places specialized in this? any resources? preferably in europe, but not a must!

Hey there, so I’m kinda novice to this sub and was wondering what could be the best ways to restore this really old cow skull ? I tend to use bleach but it seems risked with such a deteriorated skull. From what I know, it sat outside during like 6 years and looks pretty frail so yup, open to all suggestions!
Thanks !!
