The art of taxidermy started about 4000 years ago, because Man has always been passionate about preserving the bodies and part of the animals that surround him.
Modern taxidermy is a high-level artistic expression, from simple bones to the most beautiful animal perfectly prepared and with full guarantee of remaining for many years.

Swordfish rostrum from Madagascar.
Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) are large, highly migratory, predatory fish characterized by a long, flat, pointed bill. They are a popular sport fish of the billfish category.
The swordfish is named after its pointed, flat bill, which resembles a sword .
The popular belief of the "sword" being used as a spear is misleading. Their nose is more likely used to slash at its prey to injure the prey animal to make for an easier catch.
