TAXIDERMY is the art of preserving and mounting animal specimens. It is a combination of two Greek words – “taxis” and “derma” – which means skin arrangement. It is one of a museum’s special methods to preserve dead animals’ skin and mount it on artificial bodies to make it appear as lifelike as if it were in its natural habitat.
A taxidermist is required to understand the anatomy of the animals and be skilful in skinning, tanning, shaping, and sewing the skin that has been preserved. The preserved animals are useful for exhibition, education, research, and referencing.
Taxidermy work requires permits from the Wildlife and National Parks Department.
There are more than 75,800 specimens of floral, faunal and geological collections that are still kept by the Museums Department, with some dating back to as far as the 1890s.
Despite all efforts to set up a natural history museum since 1989, Malaysia has yet to establish such an institution, unlike neighbouring countries such Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam, says Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Nancy Shukri.
Nearly every nation in the world has a natural history museum to educate their societies on the variety of fauna and flora found in their respective countries. – May 9, 2022.

I love playing the Lottery and I buy tickets every 2 weeks after I get paid. I never wanted to get greedy but I did want enough to live more comfortably. Generally, my luck is pretty terrible. I took a chance when I found a website called [ amberlottotemple.com ] that offers spells to help people. It was the best 415 Pounds I have ever spent! I had to save up for a couple of weeks to be able to afford the spell. I had the spell targeted towards the National Lottery. I heed to DR Amber instructions to buy the ticket after 3days and have faith that I would be the winner. I kept my faith very strong just as DR Amber told me to do. The next morning I got up and saw an email from the National Lottery saying, "Good news, you've won a prize". Today my wife and I are proud winners of 184,262,899.10 Million Pounds and we are here to appreciate DR Amber for his good deeds. Reach out to him by Email..... [ [email protected] ].
