In order to build up a rodent specimen collection, particularly useful for taxonomic
study, one proceeds with taxidermic (stuffing) tasks.

     - The webpage below provides information on nature and history of the discipline
        as well as on the equipment required and the different stages of the recommended 
        protocol.
      - The slideshow proposes a quick illustrated overview of the stuffing steps of a striped
        ground squirrel (Xerus erythropus).
