            <para>The Alabama Museum of Natural History's Mammal collection contains numerous series of small Alabama mammals such as rodents, shrews and bats that are available for research. More than 3000 specimens, including study skins, skulls and taxidermy, are represented in its holdings.Many of the specimens were collected in the 1950’s and 60’s through the Department of Biological Sciences. Several collections of big game trophy heads were acquired from five different donors comprising an eclectic mix of sheep, antelope and other hoofed mammals.Some full mounts of African and North American mammals also exist.</para>
