I was wondering if there is a way to preserve the flesh of an animal (ie squirrel)? Is there some way to preserve the tisues and muscles of the animal on the bones and have it be a dry mount (not in liquid in a jar)? I don't want the skin or fir on it. Would something like formaldehyde to preserve, then salt to dry, and then an acrylic or polyurethane coat do the trick? This is for an anatomy class.

I can't think of any way to do what you seem to be describing,other than skinning the animal, gutting it,replacing the guts with polyfill,sewing the abdominals back up, setting it in whatever position you need it, freezing it,then transfering it to a freeze dryer.
There is also the methods used for dissection animals though, they are full of embalming fluids or something,and do not need refrigeration or freezing insofar as I know.
there are lots of methods that can be used to do what you are thinking of - but I would venture to say only one is within your grasp. That is to do as TS suggested and have it freeze dried. There are a bunch of places that offer freeze dry services - just have them do yer critter up for ya.
By the way - the way you described would end up making a scary looking, rotting mount - yikes - don't go down that road ;)
It's not practical to actually do, but if you're making a presentation it bears discussion. I believe the latest issue of Discover had a good article on it.
