Arizona State University Mammalogy Collection (ASU-ASUMAC)
The Mammal Collection consists of around 9,000 museum mounts of mammal skins and skulls as well as some taxidermy-mounted heads of some larger mammals. The research collection represents the second-largest mammal collection in Arizona. A teaching collection is housed separately. The specimen catalog of mammals is maintained on paper, but are being newly digitized as of August, 2014, and onwards.
