River Otter Taxidermy - Part 1 - Altering An Otter Mannikin

This video series, will take the viewer through my methods for mounting a lifesize mammal ... in this case a North American River Otter. This first video concerns itself with the alteration of the mannikin to make it fit the skin, including filing, sanding, cutting and reassembly of the mannikin. All important steps in the creation of an accurate, well fitting form to produce and accurate and well mounted specimen! Music: "Moonlight Sonata" by Ludwig van Beethoven
