Abstract
This system is designed to provide a stable and efficient storage system for small taxidermy mounts of birds and mammals. It is especially good for diorama specimens that are unstable without their original display supports. It is appropriate also for taxidermy specimens that are mounted on free-standing pedestals with narrow bases that don't provide balance for the specimen in drawer as it is opened and closed.
