Use the ‘Map Search’ to find mammals native to a specific location. Use ‘Search by Species Name’ to find a specific mammal by common or scientific name. You can also select an order, family, or genus. ‘Search the Family Tree’ by using the interactive Flash application which lets you navigate through the mammalian family tree. ‘Search by Conservation Status’ to find mammals that are extinct in the wild or endangered in their natural habitat. Lastly, you can ‘Search the Special Collections’ for animals with skull, or bone and teeth images. Use the glossary to define specific terms of interest.
