MAMMALOGY
by Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
The Mammalogy collections include terrestrial and marine mammal specimens prepared as study skins, skulls, skeletons, tanned pelts, and fluid preserved bodies.
The breadth and scope of the research makes them important for the study of the origins and evolution of all the major groups of mammals. our collections also document historical changes in marine and terrestrial biodiversity, both local and global.
The largest natural object in the Museum's collections is a 17-foot-long, 2.5-ton skull from a blue whale.
