Livestock / Animal Husbandry
English term or phrase: stuffed animal
I want to know the exact term for this word in Armenian. I suspect ¨khrtvilak¨ but it´s something different. In russian it is ¨chuchelo¨ if it may help.

Reference information:
Anahit jan, if I am not mistaken this process is called taxidermy in English... I remember this because my own father used to stuff animals... you may want to have a look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxidermy
I am really curious to know the Armenian term for this....

Asker: Thanks you for the reference, it was interesting to look at. THe most appropriate variant for my translation was "kendanu khrtvilak" though this is the result and not the process as in taxodermy.
