University of Vermont Zadock Thompson Zoological Collections-Vertebrates (UVM-VTZT)

Our 12,000 preserved mammals consist primarily of New World rodents, with an extensive collection of small mammals from Vermont and New Hampshire; our holdings represent 35 of the 70 families of New World mammals, including all living species of Vermont mammals. We also have 1,200 birds and 2,600 reptiles and amphibians, which formed the basis for the Vermont State Herpetology Atlas.
