Taxidermy

Taxidermy is the art of preserving animals. This craft blends art, science, and craftsmanship to create lifelike representations of animals in naturalistic settings for display, education, or research. Taxidermists often work for museums, creating or restoring exhibits, but they also serve hunters and fishermen who wish to preserve their trophies.

The process of taxidermy involves careful skinning and tanning of the hide, molding and sculpting an accurate form of the animal's body, and then meticulously attaching the prepared skin onto the form. The final step requires detailed painting and grooming to enhance the realism of the animal. This meticulous process allows for the natural beauty and majesty of wildlife to be preserved and appreciated.

This profession requires not only technical skills but also a respect for nature and wildlife ethics, ensuring that the practice promotes conservation and appreciation of biodiversity. Ethical practices are ensured through strict regulation. Laws differ by country, but they share common elements designed to protect wildlife. In the United States, for example, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) enforces laws that regulate which species can be taxidermized. Endangered species and migratory birds, for instance, are protected under specific acts. To work with these animals, taxidermists must obtain special permits.

Moreover, taxidermists are often required to keep detailed records of their work, including the origins of each specimen and its treatment process. This documentation helps wildlife officials track the use of animal parts, prevent illegal trade, and manage animal populations, ensuring that local ecosystems remain balanced and illegal hunting is minimized.

It's essential for aspiring and practicing taxidermists to understand and comply with these laws to avoid legal complications and contribute to ethical wildlife management and conservation. Ethical taxidermy practices promote conservation and respect for wildlife, aligning with modern ecological values and animal welfare standards.

An Ode to Naps

The rain is tapping footsteps on the roof

It sounds a lovely dance inside my head

This peaceful aura only serves as proof

 That I should dodge my work to lie in bed

The pillows pull me in with their behest

A trap that I do not want to escape

The blankets form a most enticing nest

They wrap me in a shroud that won't undrape

I'm tempted further by my furry friends

They've taken o'er the mattress in a pile

Oh, how I want to nestle in with them

But first, I know that I must work awhile

I promise, bed, I will be back for you I surely nap before the day is through

Which of the following pairs of words from the text is relevant Information to pass onto an illustrator who is creating art related to the poem for publication?

Mourning geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) are truly a unique species. This gecko is small, as it only grows up to 10 cm or 4 inches. With a range of Hawai, the South Pacific islands, and Central and South America these geckos have one of the largest ranges among reptiles.

What really sets this species apart is how they reproduce. Mourning geckos are all female and reproduce through parthenogenesis, where the mother essentially clones herself to create her offspring. However, their genes have the ability to recombine to allow genetic variation and mutation. Like many other geckos, mourning geckos lay two eggs at a time several times a year. The eggs incubate for 65 to 103 days.

Which of the following is a conclusion the reader might draw from the Information in the passage?

Alice was not scared. Not at all. Maybe a little bit. But she was determined to confront the ghost in her house. Alice lived in a farmhouse built in 1921. All of the floors and doors were original; the doors even had skeleton key locks. But by far the most terrifying part of the house was the basement. She kept that door locked and ignored the thumps, crashes, and cries that came from below the house. What made Alice determined to confront the ghost today was the especially loud crashes the previous night. She'd gotten no sleep, convinced the ghost was going to break through the door and do something horrible. What, she wasn't sure, but the ghost would do something.

Alice hadn't seen the ghost, but what else could be making loud noises in an old house? The one time she had been down in the basement was after buying the house unseen. Once she saw the shelves with old glass jars, she was a little put off. But what made her keep the door shut and locked was the abrupt end of the concrete floor halfway across the room. Because nothing good ever happened in a basement with a dirt floor. Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that

Alice stared at the basement door, trying to gather enough confidence to open it and march down the stairs like she owned the place. Because she did-or she would, once she finished paying her mortgage in 30 years Alice took a deep breath and yanked the door open. She marched down the stairs, only to stop abruptly at the bottom. Because she was face to face with not a ghost at all. It was a calico cat, one who looked utterly unimpressed by her brave journey into the basement
