That’s fascinating Dennis. If you do not mind me asking.... can you tell me about how a crocodile is prepared to have sent back you/USA to be taxidermied like this display? I mean is it simply salt.... dip/pack like hide animals?

Same as any other skin, Salted in camp then....at dip pack place its suppose to be rehydrated to a point and then any extra meat removed as all hides are , then soaked in a solution of salt brine and a formic acid and or other chemicals to kill anything bugs, ticks, bacteria, viruses, hoof and mouth disease anything that could be brought to the US to other country.
Amazing

Thanks Royal, Most can't . Taxidermy is a real art that involves understanding of basic anatomy and structure of the animal , how it can turn, move and articulate itself . Most just buy forms and glue skin on. Know nothing about cutting, alteration,change body size, bone length growth for younger animals vs older animals and the flow and composition of a piece. and how to put emotion and realism in a piece, It's Art. Wait till you see the expression and eye roll of the baboon when done. Thank you all so much for liken my work here on AH

Hi EGS
I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
