Taxidermy is an art of preparing, stuffing and mounting the skins of animals especially vertebrates for display and other sources of study. Taxidermy can be done on all vertebrate species of animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. It is a source of information and awareness raising about biodiversity and portraying the ecological role of different species. It helps in preparation of dead animals for education, scientific database maintenance and reference material in scientific studies. It is the base of Natural History Museum Development. Taxidermy is also a source of income for the trained persons as they can get jobs in Natural History Museums as curators, assistant curators or taxidermists. Taxidermists can also earn through practicing this art for making trophies for sport hunters.

    I have had Firefox, IE, and Google chrome downloaded onto my computer for a while now with no problem. Recently I downloaded YIM and now Firefox doesn’t start up. If I restart my computer a few times, and try to open it a few dozen times each time I restart, it will eventually pop up. How do I fix it? Chrome and IE still work fine but I prefer Firefox..
