Moa skeleton from the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology.

This whole #ColossalBio de-extinction thing is _so_ stupid.

HOWEVER, I fell in love with moas when I first saw one in 2004 @ the #UMMZ. The general public (outside NZ, maybe?) has never _heard_ of them before, so the fact that moas are getting some press (if for the wrong reasons) gives me joy :) 🧪

Some of the #ummz mammal division students got in on a little moose antler cleaning today!!! The antlers were part of a donation to our collection, but needed a little TLC before going into the cabinets.

UMMZ Division of Mammals // MorphoSource The Division of Mammals at the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology was established in 1837, and has grown steadily to its current size, with over 150,000 specimens. An important feature of the mammal collection at the Museum of Zoology is our emphasis on non-traditional specimens; that is, preparations that go beyond or replace the traditional skin and skull. Our fluid collection numbers over 15,000 specimens.

I am happy to announce that #ummz #mammalogy has recently updated its user agreements on @MorphoSource, and we now can support “open download” to more than 2,000 CT datasets! More datasets are to come. Click on the link below for access.

NIH UNC Charlotte-UMMZ Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) public outreach day explaining the role of bats in ecosystems via a OneHealth format. #bite #bats #unccharlotte #ummz #universityofmichigan #rawlab #teamraw

It’s #idday at the @UMMNH, and the #ummz mammal division is all set up and ready to go!!! My help (in the background) has already checked out for the day…🤦‍♂️

#gobluemammalogy #collectionsareessential

Not a bad first set of specimens for the #ummz mammal division students!!!

#gobluemammalogy #collectionsareessential

I just heard from a former #ummz mammal division student (Shion Otsuka) regarding their acceptance to @pucvm!!! Congrats, Shion, and good luck on your future endeavors.

You can tell a lot about a #naturalhistory museum by looking at its shipping boxes! In #mammalogy, wood crates are often used to ship specimens. This box was sent by the @ROMtoronto to the #ummz, but it also has spent time at the @AMNH & @zsiwrcpune.

There has only been one wolverine sighting in Michigan in the last 200 years — What makes us "The Wolverine State"? - The Daily J One of Michigan's several nicknames is "The Wolverine State." Yet the wolverine has only been seen once in Michigan in at least 200 years. On this Daily J, WWJ's Brian Fisher explores what happened to the largest member of the weasel family, and how Michigan got its nickname. (Credit: Roy Lewis/Detroit Zoo)

This was a fun interview!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from the #ummz mammal collections!!!

More ‘chonky’ squirrels are showing up everywhere at the University of Michigan Readers have responded to an earlier report by sending their photos of the ‘chonkiest’ squirrels to MLive/The Ann Arbor News.

I love seeing the #ummz and ⁦@AnimalDiversity⁩ featured in this story!!!

The @UMichEEB undergraduate general biology course is getting a #BehindTheScenes tour of the #ummz, #um_herb, and @UMichPaleo collections!!! That’s 800+ @UMich and @umichLSA students learning why #naturalhistory #collectionsareessential…

It’s ID Day at the @UMMNH, and the #ummz mammal collections are rocking it! We even brought the one and only Phil Myers out of retirement.

Return of the creature feature … on TikTok Charlie Engelman, BS ‘14, counts 1.6M followers at ‘oddanimalspecimens,’ his wildly entertaining take on the slimy and sublime. Fun facts abound at U-M’s research collections as Engelman tweezes and teaches his way around spiny lumpsuckers, blood-sucking sea lampreys, and more.

Thanks to ⁦@WorldByCharlie⁩ for rocking this interview & the continued support of the ⁦@UMich⁩ #naturalhistory collections!

Congratulations to #ummz #mammalogy student, Michael Lyons, on a great honors thesis presentation today!! Michael is finishing up his undergrad degrees in @UMichEEB & @PitEnvironment this summer, and is hoping to attend vet school in the future.

Congrats to #UMMZ student, Lexi Frank, for all of the hard work in the #mammalogy collections! Lexi spent 4 years in the mammal division, completing both her undergraduate program @UMichEEB & master’s program @umichsph. 1/2

I came across this text from the archival records of a former #UMMZ student, Paul Hickie. It appears not much has changed since the 1930s…

Quick #asm2021 break to help #ummz students move bison skulls in the mammal collection!

I did my first virtual #ummz collection tour this morning w/Ms. Krebs’ 1st grade class from @DexterSchools, and I shared the late, great Bill Stanley’s #TheSwitch story to start things off. Hopefully at least a few “switches” were flipped today...

1/N We have been slowly making our way back into the #UMMZ collections, but we are fortunate to have great resources, such as these LN2 freezers purchased with ⁦@NSF⁩ & ⁦@UMich⁩ support, that have kept our #naturalhistory collections safe while we work remotely.

Got to visit my friends for the first time in over 3 months!!! And yes, I am smiling... #naturalhistory #collectionsareessential #ummz #mammalogy #COVID
