animal hides
Tanned creature coverings
Animal hides are the skins of animals, especially when removed for processing into leather or fur.
The term emphasizes raw or preserved skins as material: The trapper sold animal hides at the trading post.
Hide alone usually means the same thing, with animal sometimes added for clarity or when distinguishing from the verb.
