KARACHI:
Pets are not just animals for few people but are a part of their lives which impacts the owner differently than any other possession he has. To keep their pets close to them and decorate their houses with the hunting animals that the hunters have captured and killed, people enlist the help of taxidermists.
Deep in the basement of the Zoology department of University of Karachi, is the Museum of Natural History. Inside, stands still an entire animal kingdom. Frozen in mid journey, is a bird with bright wings, ready to take flight any second. Deeper inside is an alligator. Looking at him, its hard not to imagine him galloping quickly towards you. It’s harder still to wrap your mind around the fact that these animals will remain frozen in time here.
