Animal Processing
The excitement of a capture leads to the careful processing of a mammal.In most cases, the animal is measured, marked and released. In other cases, the mammal gives up its life in the name of science, becoming a representative for the entire species, preserved in perpetuity, where generations of scientists, students, and artists will study its nature and beauty.
