Funny you should ask:

there are four methods of skinning typically used in taxidermy:

case: an incision down the hind legs, skin pulled down the body like a sock

dorsal: an incision down the back

ventral: an incision down the belly, from chest to groin

rug: an incision down the belly and and limbs, so it lays flat

That said, of course, you can skin something however you want as long as you get the skin off it’s skinned so technically infinite.

Thousands- but what purpose does it serve? What is being accomplished by skinning an animal? Stupid phrase has been around since before time itself
