Museum of Zoology, Division of Mammals Organization Team Managed

2623 Media · 874 Specimens · Managed by: Cody Thompson, UMMZ Division of Mammals

The Division of Mammals at the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology was established in 1837, and has grown steadily to its current size, with over 150,000 specimens. An important feature of the mammal collection at the Museum of Zoology is our emphasis on non-traditional specimens; that is, preparations that go beyond or replace the traditional skin and skull. Our fluid collection numbers over 15,000 specimens.
