Abstract
This invention relates to a composition for preserving animals as specimens. The composition is a three-in-one composition which is prepared by combining Formaldehyde Solution and Alcohol with particles made from Boric Acid, NaCl and Phenol, and it not only soaks and hardens animals entirely, but it also simplifies the process of production by avoiding the procedures of removing skeleton, muscle and internal organs from an animal carcass.
