This specialized training program is designed for individuals eager to master the art of taxidermy, ranging from university students and faculty to professionals from various departmental organizations. Led by expert Taxidermist U Baw Than, the course bridges the gap between biological theory and technical preservation, offering a rare opportunity to learn this intricate craft within the grounds of the zoo.
The workshop is structured as a comprehensive week-long intensive that combines formal lectures with practical, hands-on laboratory sessions. Participants delve into the anatomy and preservation techniques required to maintain specimens for educational and scientific display. To ensure high-quality instruction and resource availability, the program is offered selectively, typically opening three to four times per year. This recurring schedule allows the zoo to support a steady influx of yearly participants from academic and governmental sectors, fostering a professional community dedicated to wildlife documentation and museum sciences.
Prospective students and organizational representatives should note that this program is a scheduled seasonal event rather than a daily attraction. Because the workshop spans a full week and involves specialized materials, early inquiry is recommended to secure a placement during one of the three to four annual sessions. For details on upcoming dates, registration requirements for university groups, or departmental coordination, interested parties are encouraged to contact the zoo’s administration to confirm the current year's academic calendar.
