In the early 20th century, taxidermy was taken forward under the leadership of artists such as [[Carl Akeley]], James L. Clark, William T. Hornaday, Coleman Jonas, Fredrick, and William Kaempfer, and [[Leon Pray]]. These and other taxidermists developed anatomically accurate figures which incorporated every detail in artistically interesting poses, with mounts in realistic settings and poses that were considered more appropriate for the species. This was quite a change from the caricatures popularly offered as hunting trophies.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}

Additional modern uses of Taxidermy have been the use of "Faux Taxidermy" or fake animal heads that draw on the inspiration of traditional taxidermy. Decorating with sculpted fake animal heads that are painted in different colors has become a popular trend in interior design.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/09/faux-taxidermy-decor_n_3245609.html |title = HuffPost is now a part of Verizon Media|website = [[HuffPost]]|date = 9 May 2013}}</ref>
