What's it called when people stuff wild animals?

When wild animals are caught, then stuffed to maintain their physical appearance, what is it called? It's similar to the word for the people who stuff them, but I can't recall it...

5. Taxidermy is the art of stuffing animals. A taxidermist is the am who does this. I took lessons in it when I was a boy. I used excelsior to fill the bodies, treated the skins with borax solution to preserve them,, and I bought glass eyes. One needs to be a sculptor to do well in this field, and I am.
