There are three routes one can take. You can remove all the soft parts or make them "disappear". The usual method is to skin and gut the animal and remove all non-skeletal parts you can remove safely. The remaining bone, muscle, etc. is dried and removed some other way, such as feeding it to dermestid beetle larvae or other small animals. Eventually, the skeleton is removed and cleaned of anything the beetles have missed. Then it is cleaned, degreased, bleached, and mounted. A less usual method involves skinning the animal, staining the bones, and rendering the rest of the animal transparent. The result can be displayed in a jar of preservative. If you want to get fancy, the bone can be dyed reddish and the cartilage bluish.The one last way is eat everything that could be eaten and throw away the leftovers.Than you clean it and paste it together and than put it in a show case ( glass box).
