Lion

on BBC Two England

Taxidermy flourished in Victorian times, servicing the nation's big-game hunters, whose trophy rooms were often an expression of the prowess and confidence of a world which is only recent history. Conservation is the keynote these days and most of the country's leading taxidermists work for museums.
Roy Hale is the senior taxidermist at the British Museum's natural history unit in London. In this film he takes us through the many and varied processes involved in modelling a lion for the museum.
