Hola a todas.
Pelt es igual de "hide"
pellejo, tambien pelleja (hide, skin stripped from an animal; Dic. Velázquez)
Skin, Hide, Pelt
In English, these words are loosely interchangeable but if you want to be specific about the use of the skin
consider this:
When you speak of a pelt generally you mean the skin or hide that has been stripped and cured with the hair or fur still on it, that will be marketed to be used to decorate a floor or wall, like a bearskin rug, or manufacture clothing such as fur coats and hats. When speaking of hides that generally means a skin that has the fur or hair removed to make leather such as cowhide, pigskin, lambskin, etc.
Pelt is more specific than hide or skin. To me a cat pelt suggests that it has been skinned and cured to preserve it, perhaps as a fur coat, like a leopardskin coat, so I would call it a pellejo.
¿Que opinan?
